No known issues AFAIK.
I use an X200s (7466-3JU) with LED WXGA+ (1440x900) for traveling.
Excellent machine, with about 5Hrs. on a (used) 6-cell battery.

Mt X200 was excellent, though the fain was a little noisy until I replaced it. It was probably just bad luck.

Only problem I came across on an X200 is that it had a finiky WiFi switch that would toggle radios on and off intermittently. My guess that this is due from the previous owner.
Otherwise they are solid.

the display is pretty bad. can be replaced with a better one, though.
