I thought I will use this machine as my tuning laptop but decided to stick with my beloved "X32s". So it is available for sale and it is most likely the best the X41 can go (short of installing SXGA+ IPS panel).
I performed a SATA mod on it and used Apacer mSATA SSD. The SSD is replaceable by end user like a regular miniPCI-e card. The difference is phenomenal, W7 is very snappy and the machine is 100% quiet with IBM_ECW controlling the voltages and fan on the CPU. The 4K random write results would be much better with bigger SSD's (like 64 GB or bigger) but it is around 10 times of a 5400 rpm SATA HDD already.
Here's specs:
Pentium M 778 1.6 GHz/2MB
1 GB DDR2 (accepts 2 GB stick to max out the RAM)
Intel GMA900 (native W7 drivers from Windows Update, work perfectly, though no Aero)
12.1 XGA LCD (flawless, without any pressure marks, dust specs or dead/stuck pixels)
32 GB Apacer mSATA SSD (very snappy and fast, no stuttering whatsoever which is common on Kingspec SSD's, see Crystal Diskmark results on the photos)
2200BG wireless
NMB keyboard
4cell original Lenovo battery made by Panasonic (holds around 1.5 hours of charge)
AC adapter
The machine is in very good condition, the palmrest and keyboard have little to no wear marks, lid has slight wear and tear. Hinges have no play.
I'm asking 100 euros + shipping for ($45 to US/Canada, €20 to Europe) it.
Here's photos of the laptop and mSATA mod:
