ThinkPad X200

Okay, so it has been a very long time since I last posted something. My apologies. Been so caught up in the rat race that I lost track of time and other things. But I am back now. At least for a while.

So I recently purchased a ThinkPad X200. One word... Wow!

This machine is seriously fast. The one I got is with the P8600 2.4GHz processor and PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM. This is by far the fastest laptop I've owned and the GMA4500 graphics is actually pretty fast as well. Obviously not a gamer graphics card but definitely fast enough for some light gaming. For general productive stuff such as Office applications, the Internet and more hardware crunching tasks such as video editing, photoshopping and misc compression, the ThinkPad X200 absolutely shines!

The best thing of it all? It offers amazing battery life. With the mid-sized 6-cell I am pulling 4+ hours with a mix of different tasks such as Office applications, web surfing, with about 30% brightness. With the 9-cell I have hit 7 hours with the same type of use and I am sure if I was a bit more energy saving, I would be able to hit more than eight hours. This is simply amazing for such a powerful laptop.

In addition, this laptop is by far the coolest (as in not hot) laptop I have had. It never gets hot anywhere on the laptop. So no burnt thighs or sweaty palms.

What can I say, I can't help loving the X200.

But don't just take my word for it.
