Re: X200 ExpressCard Slot - What do you use it for?

UDMA CF Card writer (StarTech from New Egg)... Love it. HDTach is just shy of 20mb/s - so not as fast as my lexar USB USDMA, but at least its small and no cables.

Reviewing 8gb option - as I would like to keep this girl for a while and figure might as well max it out. Will post 'review' once loaded (probably at end of week). Thanx to all for the ...

Re: x200t UPGRADE time... Your thoughts

Setting aside the RAM... The SSD was my primary concern. Do I go with a less expensive 64GB SSD with a clean install (upgrade or not) and add the CF/SD expansions, do I go with a 160GB and ghost the existing (thereby saving all the thinkpad stuff and the backup), or go high end with a 256GB and not ...

BTW – I love the machine. I've decided to dump some $ into her... Items under review: FIRST: SSD - I have a price range of...

Re: HDD partitioned 3X - one is recovery, what's the other?

AHHH!!! newbie blues... For some unknown (op-er'A_tore Air-or) when I searched lenovo earlier (was up too early) it found nothing...

Thanks - got 9 cell and 2gb both scratch and dent - $94 delivered... Any suggestions for a 'bump' case?

Vista Biz 32 or 64 - or bump to Win7 32 or 64?

Have X200T - SL9400 (1.86) + 4G. COA is for Vista (32) Business. Question is... Does anyone have a firm understanding of the benefits of the 64bit OS, and what might be the 'gain' if I upgrade to either Vista 64 or Win 7 64? The majority of my 'stuff' is large inter-twined excel spreadsheets (100k l...

Re: Homecoming... Just got X200 Tablet... NEED MEMORY

Thanx for the 'light' update - thought my eyes were loosing it - as I figured they put it under the keypad or really hidding in the top of the shell... LOL. BTW - do I have an X200T or an X200 (might be a dumb question - probably is)... Lenovo says this... (auto detect) Product: ThinkPad X200 Tablet...

Re: Fujitsu T900 or X201T, which one is better?

I'll throw in my .02...I left thinkpads around the X41 coming out completely till last week - and went to Fujitsu. I've had a fujitsu as the travling unit since the mid 90s. They were always smaller than the thinkpads, and usually touchscreen - with a unique touch - and reliable. They are both built...

Homecoming... Just got X200 Tablet... NEED MEMORY

OK, so I've been on sabatical for a while - was a diehard IBM ThinkPad fan and always had the small one since their first laptop with 240 (spent a fortune), through the sixes the T's... Still have 3 or 4 X31's in need of TLC, a T40, and some others... I went to Fujitsu with the introduction of their...
