Last time I took too long and all the x201s had gone on Ebat, but I
looked again recently and picked one up for £202, plus £40 for a new
battery as the one that came with it was almost dead.
I now have a dedicated Linux only machine with Mint 16 (Cinnamon) on it
and it /flies/ :) Lenovo x201 12.1", Core i5 M520m, 160Gb HD, and 4Gb RAM.

If money is tight, I'd pick up a Thinkpad X series on the cheap.
