fellow ranters, i need your advice!

i'm searching for an ultra portable laptop:
- 11" screen
- full HD resolution

it will run Linux (Kali or other debian based distro) and i need that just to do some work while i'm on the go. I don't need huge performance, so the budget is quite limited (~300 EUR / 350 USD).

is the Thinkpad x220/x230 still the best choice (even if the screen resolution is not full HD)? any other suggestion?

thanks!

    You dont want 1080 on a 11" screen, thats unusable

    @sharktits uh i see, didn't thought about that! i'm currently using a 28" 4k display at native resolution so i'm quite used to the really small text (i use a 12px font ) but i've never tried a 11" screen with that res.

    @sharktits ok so we actually have different perception on that! when i use my 13" mbp at 1680x1050 i use a 10/11px font (it depends on the application, 11 on my editor and 10 on my terminal). 18px is HUUUUGE for me :D

    Check out the Pinebook. The 11 inch model is sold out I think.

    Depending on your budget and performance needs, 11inch MacBook Air?
