Lenovo ThinkPad X200 review
1 of 3 
Verdict
It gets nil points for style, but if you need a business-like ultraportable that's also fast enough to be your main PC, the X200 is a great choice.

I know this review is old now but I thought I'd comment anyway.
I just bought one of these from eBay for £260. It came with an extra battery and charger. No bluetooth, webcam or built in 3G but those didn't bother me.
It's got 4Gb of RAM, the 2.26Ghz CPU and a 160Gb 7200K HDD.
I've installed Win 7 Ultimate x64 and Office 2010 and it runs really really well.
Still has 246 days of the warranty left and hasn't a mark on it.
Anyone looking for an inexpensive light laptop could do a lot worse.
I'm even thinking of getting a 128Gb SSD for it but it doesn't actually need it.
