If it weren't for the brightness (no LED backlight) issue, I would have a stockpile of Thinkpad X61s in my closet because I would want to use that machine forever. As it is I'm terrified that something will happen to my X200s and I won't be able to buy anything without a 16:9 screen.
- juiceandjuice 14y agoyeah the x200 series was a step up in the display. I had gotten the high brightness screen on the x61s which meant that it wasn't as horrible as the other one. I've dropped my x61s three or four times now from substantial heights, and a little bit of the plastic is cracked and lately it seems like the cables to the screen might be getting sketchy, but after I pulled apart all the keys and cleaned it out really good a couple of weeks ago it still feels (and looks) new. It's the perfect laptop for traveling at this point, enough power and battery life and low enough weight for anything, but it's old enough that if something happened to it, it wouldn't be devastating.
