Get the T420. It's a great laptop and its processor is almost twice as
fast as the e11.

That one only has 4 gigs, but it's you have a 300 budget you can add
quite a bit more ram to it and still be well under budget.

If I were you, I would get an SSD and the extra ram and have a very very
nice machine. You can even add an M.2 SSD and keep the spinning hard
drive in it at the same time, like I've done with my T420.
