- NotebookReview.com forum discussion - February 17, 2008
- Supposed photos of an X200 (January 18, 2008)
Rumors:
- 11.1″ Display or 12.1″ Display (X300 = 13.3″, so X200 = 12.1″)
- Widescreen
- USB-powered optical drive
- Smaller version of the X300
- LED-backlit
- Under three pounds
- Intel Penryn 45nm
- Solid State Drive (SSD) options
What Rob Bushway at GottaBeMobile thinks it should be:
- SSD
- I see them sticking with the 12 inch screen.
- Definitely going thinner in the fashion of the X300
- Multi-Touch improvements
- Wireless USB
- LED screen
What Steve and Dwight at Small-Laptops.com think:
- 12″ Widescreen / Touchscreen. 11.1 would make sense if it were a laptop only and did not have a Tablet PC version - then they could work with the IdeaPad U110 suppliers (Sony and Asus are the major 11.1″ players and they don’t have touchscreens out in that size, could be too expensive for Lenovo to go it alone)
- Benefit from the X300 design
- Not even sure why optical was mentioned - with the X40 and X60/X61 lineup, the optical drive was in a bay
- Similar bay to the current non-X300 ThinkPad X laptops
- LED-backlit
- 2x USB 2.0 ports
- Wireless N
- SSD optional (too much of a cost to make mandatory)
- 2.5 pounds
- Intel Penryn (of course) ULV
- 4+ hours of battery life (without a second battery)
