Lenovo‘s ThinkPad X200 just earned Laptop’s Editor’s Choice award. The lack of an opti­cal drive didn’t cur­tail enthu­si­asm for the X200 as an “excel­lent light­weight note­book for mobile pro­fes­sion­als.” The X200 is for doing what busi­ness peo­ple do on the road: check­ing emails, doing some Office work and then play­ing a bit of Solitaire. So if you’re think­ing of tot­ing the X200 to your next LAN party for a lit­tle Crysis action, think twice. On the other hand, you’ll prob­a­bly have no prob­lems get­ting in some WoW action.

No opti­cal drive, but we expected that. The dis­play is 12.1″ wide. You can fit the X200 with a 64GB SSD or a tra­di­tional HDD up to 320GB. The X200 will be fast and you can have one with up to a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, up to 4GB of RAM and comes with a myr­iad of wire­less options: UWB (Ultra Wide Band), WiMAX, GPS, etc. Now, you would think you’d need to pay a con­sid­er­able sum of your hard-earned money. Not so. Lenovo‘s sell­ing it to you for just US$1,199, start­ing price. Source: Yahoo! News via Engadget

Updated with a nice pic­ture from 51nb.com of Lenovo’s X200. Doesn’t look all that dif­fer­ent from its older sib­ling, the X300, but there is one big exter­nal dif­fer­ence: the absence of a trackpad.

I like work­ing on track­pads and I really don’t like work­ing on lit­tle red rub­ber point­ers. The X200 is a no-go for me because there is no track­pad. Unfortunate. But with a lower price, the X300 has become just a bit more afford­able. Source: 51nb.com via Engadget

Original Post

Hardspell has posted up some pic­tures of what seems to be a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 ultra­portable note­book PC, the smaller ver­sion of the X300. The site is sug­gest­ing the size of the LCD to be about 11″. If the X200 has been crafted from the X300, it’s got great genes and should pro­vide an over­all stel­lar experience.
