 Love These Machines! April 9, 2010

These Thinkpads are the Best They have the look and Feel of High Quality!
I have a SL410 but Amazon no longer sells it, so writing this here.
Bought a Toshiba laptop weeks ago then returned it. It was OK but it looked and felt cheap with the very high gloss surface had to constantly wipe it down. The thinkpads have a matte finish, much better.
Also the Toshiba Laptop had these annoying popup windows that would appear reminding me to upgrade and buy software.
The touch pad is great very accurate, also much better then my toshiba.
Only had mine a few a couple weeks and am impressed overall.
I've been a electronics tech for 20 years and a IT degree, I can say these are made very well. The connectors and interface are well designed. Just wish mine was a little lighter the 410 is about 5lbs.

I have the x200 with extended life battery and 2.4 ghz processor widows 7. This is an amzing little machine. It's built like a tank, and the battery life is incredible. I get about 10 hours!! IBM/Lenovo has been building workhorses for business use for years. They know what they are doing.
Beware of the low reviews on this product March 16, 2010

The other two reviews that gave it a low rating had nothing to do with the laptop. It was their experiences that were the issue not the laptop itself. If you turned down this laptop based on those reviews you would be missing out on a very nice machine.
This is an excellent laptop and I highly recommend it. I've had mine for a couple of years now and have never had a problem with it. I have upgraded to Win7 since then and have a total of 4GB RAM (which is the max for this laptop hardware wise).
I am in IT field and need a reliable, ultra-portable laptop that has plenty of 'horse-power' to run several applications that I rely on. The X200 fits that perfectly.
I am fairly rough on my laptop and yet it still runs without a problem.
Pros: Light-weight, portable, great battery life, reliable, nice features (roll cage to protect against bumps, spill-resistant keyboard), price is just right, Lenovo's website for downloads (drivers and software) is always up to date
Cons: The finish on the top of it is not that durable. The lid on mine got scratched up a little bit. I ended up buying a 'skin' to go on the top of it to hide the scuff marks.
Fantastic computer February 21, 2010

First, please note that I'm reviewing the actual computer and not any vendor nor the manufacturer's customer service.
Thinkpads, generally in my experience have by far the best laptop keyboards I've used. This is my fifth (at least) Thinkpad and my second X series (previous was X60). I have found them all to be remarkably reliable with excellent ergonomics. I especially love small touches, like the little mouse in the center of the keyboard (looks like a pencil eraser). Thinkpad seems to have the only truly effective implementation compared to other I've tried such as Toshiba. Also 3 USB ports. Nice. VERY lightweight, speedy enough. I LIKE that they did not put a cd/dvd drive in this unit. I'd rather use external given how infrequently I need it. X200 has built-in camera - I still have not figured out how to turn it off - so careful with your attire while surfing Facebook y'all!
So I am thrilled with this unit, loved my X60 for the 2+ years that I had it, and the T series before that. These things seem designed for "road warriors" like me.
Also be sure to get the small travelers A/C adaptor that Lenovo sells for these. I think I paid $35 for mine. Nice.
 NEVER BUY AGAIN FROM AMAZON THIRD PARTY. February 4, 2010

This item (Lenovo Thinkpad X200) was featured on Amazon with Beach Audio as the third party seller for a ridiculously low price of $ 733.
I ordered the item last evening. Beach Audio sends me an email that they will ship the order by this evening. A few hours later I get an email from Amazon that the order has been cancelled!!
Beach Audio didnt even have the courtesy to let me know that they cant fulfill and order. Amazon didnt even bother to send me an explanation. They just curtly told me that it was the Third Party dealers fault.
Horrible experience overall.
Buyers, please beware of lowball prices posted by Beach Audio. They're probably just tryin to get visitors to their site. Thats all.
