Thinkpads Forum

I was thinking of asking my friend to pick up a x200 tablet when he goes to Hong Kong at the end of August. Would the notebook even be availiable? Are there any major issues that I should look out for?

I know the OS would be in Chinese but could I call Lenovo Canada to get an English version later? Furthermore, would I be able to upgrade the warranty to a 3 year next day on-site with Thinkpad Protection when I get the notebook in Canada?

release dates for the X200T haven't been announced.

however once it is available, it will be available worldwide—canada included.

You can ask them for English OS as well. I did that in HK before.

When you got the English O/S, was it the same thing they sell in the states?

Exactly the same as other English versions of XP. To be honest, English is also the official language in HK.
