Hi,

I'm wondering about a cheaper (non thinkpad) alternative to the x200. I really love thinkpads, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to shell out more than $1000. Can anyone recommend high quality, cheaper alternatives? Do any exist!?

Thanks.

Take a look at the X61's and X61s's at Lenovo outlet.

If you want something similar in size to the X200 but can't afford $1000, you're probably looking for a netbook. I personally have the ASUS EEE PC 1002HA (~$500) but the HP Mini-Note 1000, Acer Aspire One, MSI Wind, and Samsung NC10 also get good marks. Beyond that, keep checking the Lenovo Outlet for some used X200's to start showing up.

Here is X200 for $902.

I wouldn't bother. Would buy a cheap alternative to a Ferrari? Sure, there other cheap cars, but nothing close to the actual thing.

If you are just looking for a widescreen ultraportable and don't mind a generation or two old:
HP NC2400, HP 2510p, Dell Latitude D420, Dell Latitude D430

All are very well built. A few of the forum members here are fans of the NC2400. The 2510p is just the updated version.
