T400 for an X200???
Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:43 pm
I've thought long and hard about this. I'm going to just put this out there and see if it generates any interest. I have a T400 w/Intel graphics and the WXGA+ LG LED Panel. I am taking 3 science courses and a Nutrition class this semester. I have heard that the books for these classes will be a workout to lug around! I have a messenger type bag that my T400 fits in nicely but.... I'm thinking that an X200 would be superb!
Is there anyone who might consider trading??? I'd prefer to keep the 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio please. I have a dock to put in with this deal (doesn't have keys but is unlocked). I really love this Thinkpad and I'm probably going to start crying the minute it leaves my hands! Seriously! FYI the warranty expired last month. There is the usual wear and a tiny hairline crack on the lid that measures 1/4 inch. I know that a physically perfect specimen is choice but other than that tiny 1/4 hairline crack the T400 is in decent shape. The LED screen is bright and sharp with no dead-pixels. I'd prefer to keep my own RAM to transplant in the X200 and imagine you'd have the same feelings. I'm also hoping that "swap friend" has a dock to throw in as well. I have grown to love the 1440X900 resolution but I figure I can get an external monitor for the X200. As a comparison the T400 with Integrated graphics does not get as hot as my former roommates MacBook nor does it sound like a jet getting ready to take off! It is quiet and polite
Model Type 7417-CTO
CPU P8400 2.26GHz Core2Duo
RAM I'd rather keep my 2X2gb. Max RAM in this model IIRC is 8GB
DVD/CDRW Serial Ultrabay Slim Drive
PCMCIA card and Expresscard 34/54
Chicony keyboard with solid backplate (no swisscheese type)
Vista Business COA
I'd just like to play this by ear for the time being however- the closer my school resumes classes.... the more I feel how an X200 would be much more appropriate for me!!! Pictures available on request. TIA.
