    I've been considering getting x220 but vertical resolution of 768 pixels might be too small for me. I just found out there is/was x201s with 1440x900 screen.

    Did Lenovo made any laptop similar to X201s? If not, where could I get x201s with UK keyboard? Are they still available anywhere in Europe?

    Best bet in Europe: www.nbwn.com (notebooks wie neu), they have a X201s with 1440x900 screen for 789,00 EUR. Mind you, they sell 'refurbished' models and they are from Germany so OS and keyboard will be german, also, the adapter won't fit a UK power outlet.

    They are probably willing to install a UK keyboard (for a price), changing the OS from German to English is something you can do yourself.

    Second option: http://www.hemini.com, they are based in London and sell a lot of Lenovo. They don't seem to have any X201s's at the moment but you can always call them.

    Thanks, I will check NBWM out. I'm actually from Slovenia, so NBWM is closer to me than Hemini.
    I'm searching for UK keyboard because I assume it's impossible to find Bosnian/Croatian/Slovene layout. UK layout as alternative would be the most beneficial to me. I'll see if NBWM has my layout.

    Thanks again!

    Sorry, cause of the UK keyboard i presumed you are from the UK :D Anyways, changing the keyboard on any Thinkpad is dead easy, not sure if a Lenovo Bosnian/Croatian/Slovene layout exists but there are plenty of cheap US and UK X201s keyboards available on Ebay.
