Yes, unfortunately. But i'm a TWAT (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) so don't feel too sorry for me.
Monday and Friday 5 PM I'm out the door of my house and enjoy miles of country lanes without a traffic light in sight.Figured I should use my time on the train to learn new skills, hence need for new laptop - work I don't feel would approve if I used theirs!

Need to purchase a laptop around 13" preferably i7 8GB+and enough juice to run my 2.5 hours each way on the train a day. One that'd play nicely with Linux would be nice too. Whatever i'll be ditching the HDD and popping a SSD in.
Second hand, what should I be searching eBay for?
Days gone by IBM Thinkpad would have been my go-to but i've been on a Mac since C2D were fazed out so i'm a little out the loop on things.
Bonus Q. Are there any small stripped out Windows distros these days?
