Thinkpads Forum

I saw a listing at a local website.

I don't need it (just got an X220), but the Thinkpadder in me is screaming.

it's not that rare. Check ebay

Or worth it, as the performance difference is very small.

I have one (well more than one

It's good for emulation as the i7 has IOMMU and VT-x.

I'd like to put a good 16G of RAM inside it but so far I saw conflicting reports on whether it was supported or not.

(I also want to add a 3rd mini pcie port but that's worth another post)

X201 tablet with i7 620LM and i7 640LM is not rare at all. And the performance of 620LM and 640LM is just about the same as a T8300
There has been a handful of CTO X201 with i7 640m (yes, that might just burn through your table) and those are quite rare

@charlesd 2*8GB will NOT work on X201T under windows (the maximum you could get is 2*4GB=8GB, and you will need 2Rx8 RAM sticks (1R*8 will not work either)), but cuttondog@51nb has confirmed that under MAC 2*8GB works

I have one running Mac OS 10.9 like a dream, as well as Linux and Windows 7 on other partitions. I love it. It's a great little machine, tough as a rock, very bright screen.

Works for OSX? Interesting. I kept reading and found that windows in 32 bit might also work. So the i7 can't address 16G in 64 bits mode, but can use 16G. I guess that is due to PAE, so it works if you just use 16G with the correct operating system (OSX / Windows 32 bits)

Not sure it's worth the trouble, but happy to know that I can do that if I want to upgrade the RAM someday
