SOLD: ThinkPad X240s Prototype w/ Docking Connector $199, Overclocked ThinkPad X200 $99
Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2020 12:49 pm
For sale is a very rare prototype ThinkPad X240s with a 1.2-2.4ghz Haswell ULV Eng. Sample i7 (4m l3 cache) cpu and a special docking connector on its back just like an X240.
There are four damages on the case, two on the top case and two on the bottom case, you can refer to the photo (already fixed using rubber tapes). Buyers should except a poor condition except the screen assembly. The touchpad has no color on it unlike clunkpad installed on retail **40 machines. The BIOS states itself as a ThinkPad Edge which is not true haha. Most ports of this machine should be functional but I have no wwan cards to test the 2nd m.2 slot and external VGA monitors to test the VGA port. Two internal batteries are provided with the machine with a wear down around 10%. A backlit keyboard is provided with the machine. Under Windows 7 and 10 the sleep function of this machine is not working, and the WLAN card is forced to be turned off (and can't be turned again unless a restart) if you hibernate the machine. Under Hackintosh with an EFI I grabbed from another forum the sleep works well but the dsdt needs to be patched so I decided to move back to Windows. The trackpoint is also not working; I can't test if its a problem of the motherboard or the keyboard, so the only internal pointing device is the clunkpad. As for its docking abilities I've tested it with a 40A1 Pro Dock and it's functional (video ports are not tested). The fan is forced to Level 64 on start due to the fact that this machine has a very early version of EC and/or BIOS, tpfancontrol is installed with the machine for a noise reduction.
Be prepared of MANY hardware bugs if you want to buy this, not suggested if you want to use it as a daily driver but a dual core Haswell cpu can still do the job after all. The photos will be attached soon.

Just found another X200 in my locker. It has an overclocked P8600 (@3.0ghz), 4G Memory and 64g SSD. No crack and damage on the case for this machine but it's not in a mint condition.
I ship from Beijing, China and the additional shipping cost should be around 30 USD. Feel free to DM me anytime to ask questions about the machines.
No warrant is provided other than DOAs
FOR SAFETY I'll clean the case, keyboard and touchpad using 75% alcohol tissue before packaging it.

That's what makes this machine very interesting. It could be the only X240s with a docking connector alive
