Re: I'm looking for a new laptop
You can buy this Lenovo model 20DK002EUK at scan.co.uk , at what I recon is less than ~60% of the original recommended price. It is last year top model with Core i7 5600, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and 12" touch screen with HD resolution and wacom pen; bought it recently for wife and it is very very nice, small text on screen aside (but that's Windows problem). It comes with Windows 7, of course nothing stops you from making it dual boot or replacing it entirely with Linux. Or upgrading to Windows 10, but I guess that's not your preference :D
