Lenovo ThinkPad X200T: Touch Computing of a Decade Past 

I have 4 X200T and they work perfect with Windows 10. Just go to: support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds012808 and download the Lenovo System Tools. It will update everything, even the Bios. It will work perfect with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and even Windows Server 2012R2 and you can use Hyper-V to virtualize. Kali Linux works perfect and the special buttons will work also. The docking station for the X200T makes this little laptop perfect!

You seriously do deserve more subscribers! You make so many great Lenovo videos it has helped immensely with building my collection and resolving issues 👍

this may be the most charming tech video intro i've ever seen. also, good review!

For those who care, here is my experience running Gentoo linux on it. The Wacom penabled touchscreen driver for Linux w8001 works without any issues (duh). The touch screen is serial (so just run the inputattach command with the proper options and your beautiful touchscreen is up and running). You have to set up the button actions (like flip screen, etc) but it isn't too difficult because Linux just treats them like any regular button. You can force the pen input to flip with the screen by using a transformation matrix in x11 (just have it run whenever you flip the screen). So overall the set up experience is easy as 1 2 3. :)

Beautiful machine! SO MANY BUTTONS!

Great computer which I bought used in 2011. Currently I'm using mine with a firewire express card to run a Nikon Coolscan 4000 (35mm film scanner). Robust. I had three spillages with it including beer at a house party when I was at university, it's been through airplane check in multiple times and has had two keyboard replacements and it's still working flawlessly. Even the thermal compound seems to be holding up all these years later! Incredibly robust machine! Have a great Chirstmas!

niiiice! i really like these thinkpad videos, great quality! you are very talented!

It's a beautiful piece of technology. :) And the comment is coming from my X61s running Ubuntu MATE 18.04.

Greeting's from poland. Also happy Xmas! i just got ThinkPad x230 from xmas ;DD

Great video on such an awesome looking Thinkpad, and will be keeping my eyes open for one to add to my slowly growing ThinkPad collection. Hope you, and yours are having a very Merry Christmas.

this thing flies with windows 7, it also supports 8GB ram after a bios update. I bought one online on January, a top of the line x200t w/ an SL9600, multitouch with built in 3G modem and usb3 expresscard but strangely no webcam. Just shove an SSD there and this machine will cope up with any core i3 laptop being sold now.

How I love this antique machine.. everything is replaceable..n u can get it everywhere around the globe

Today I scored 1 X200T for next to nothing. Apart from sticky body and cracked palmrest, all working fine and well. Will start ordering parts to restore it back to factory condition. This beauty will now sit next to my X220T and X61T.

I have one x200t and got it 2 years ago in a good condition. Updated to a SSD drive with an INTEL 240GB, 8GB ram and a base for X200 systems with a DVD drive and a HDD tray to switch between a second hdd or the DVD player. The battery is now 1 year old because i had to buy an original new one. The housing was a bit dirty and after cleaning really all the plastic view was a bit old. Because i'm very familiar with chemical things i build myself a special plastic cleaner and YOUNGER Age Cleaner. It's a special mix and after i used it it looks right out of the box. It can run on gentoo linux, debian, Windows 7 or 10. Windows 10 runs 100% ok with no issues at all.When i got it, updated it and used for around 4 weeks it is a feeling which is better than s*x, haha. It is my coding machine and i can around the house with it to control my decentral I/O's from my PLC system which do the whole home automation. One last update from last week: i got the little special wire which is copnnected on one side at the pen and on the other side on the Laptop. Found a shop who sold that part out. 3 peaces in one original package for around $5. Now it is complete. An additional update: ... there is a mSata ExpressCard to NVMe Adapter. Looks right wthat we need to mod our X230T a bit more. Link: thinkmods.store/

I have the multitouch version! However, my bezel isn't flush like yours, gotta admit it looked modern with flush bezel. Another thing to note is that the multitouch is not "multi finger touch", it just mean that u can use pen or finger for touching purposes. And the finger touch is not capacitive, it's resistive, so u need to press quite hard or use finger nails for it to register. U won't miss much actually so better use the one with pen only if it's cheaper.

I have this and I love it so much ❤️

For drawing and light games. Should I get This x220t X260 w wacom pen X yoga 1st gen Yoga 12 Or newer yoga 370?

I’ve had this tablet for 13 years and am running Mint Mate. So much snappier than Win 10. All pen/tablet functions work perfectly.

Is it still value for money to buy an X220t or X230t today? Do you have any tips and recommendations for looking for and buying used/refurbished units? Been looking for these at Facebook Marketplace (local listings in the Philippines, where I live) and on eBay (US listings). Thanks! Keep up the good work on your channel

I owned one of these for years. Good little machine, even if it was heavy, chunky, and didn't have the best battery life. Worked great with 8, 7, and especially Vista. 8.1 and 10 might be fine too, but the screen rotation bug looks like it might come into play.

The lenovo x200 uses a shorter length battery from the X200T..... The X200T does use the same battery as the X201T.... I would know, I have the X200, X200 Tablet and the X201 Tablet.... The little expansion slot is for turbo ram.... Thw motherboard from the x200 and x200T are different but i found my x200 has all the expansion slots filled while the turbo ram is not present in the X200T... I use the x200 as a retro gaming laptop, while the X200T is used for graphics design, gimp, 3d model sculpting via zbrush, mudbox brilliant laptops, im a lenovo thinkpad fan for life...

Yo whats uppp? haha I've commented and you've always replied. Here's a thank you for all your videos 😀 I was wondering if you've seen Thinkpad prices going up? The ones in good to great condition are getting pretty hard to find imo.

I would like to point out that the pen is actually pressure sensitive (as expected :P ). I have tried it and it works in GIMP.

Interesting Device. Only have a X220 (for around two years) and now got me an T440s (i7,12GB RAM, Touch, 256GB SSD) and both are awesome devices. Thinkpads do have a really good build quality. But for the T440s i need to get me a new internal battery or better the bigger external one

Recently bought X200t, mine has equipped with core2duo sl9300, 2 gigs ddr3 ram, 64gb ssd, windows 7.

I think that extra mini-PCIe slot is for Intel Turbo Memory.

Not sure what drivers you installed, but I recommend using Lenovo System Update, and install everything that's missing. Could be a windows 10 issue though, everything works fine for me on Windows 7. As far as linux goes with rotation, you have to make an executable script, then use xbindkeys to assign the rotation/stylus orientation script to the physical button. (At least for my distribution). Here's the Lenovo System Update: support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds012808 Edit: Also, Some models do have accelerometers, for not only orientation of the screen, but for hard drive protection in case the laptop falls it will shut down a HDD.

So many buttons, Its like a Aeroplane Cockpit *LOL*

hi ok ubuntu 16.4 worked straight out the box screen buttons and all....windiws 10 was more of a problemi went to (lenovo x220 tablet drivers ) the top result in google took me straight to all my drivers but no matter how i tried i cud not get the screen buttons to work..the new linux MATTE all buttons worked no problems and i found that i have the equv 4k display even tho its 1365x 768 on windows hmmm strange wish i had ubuntu skalling on windows i suppose i got lucky came with ips screen from ebay....great vid by the way

Awesome video bro❤🎄

Can I ask as you're somewhat of a Thinkpad collector do these the X200T use the same battery as the X200 (none tablet)?

So i bought a x200t at savers it was only 5 bucks with all the accessories they thought it was a Thinkpad bag because the laptop was concealed so o bought it and i want the fingerprint working on it can any one help me

Is it able to run Windows x64 bit? It's important because I need it to run a x64bit only program. Thank you in advance.

Posting this from X220T with i7, greetings from 🇷🇺. Merry christmas.

I’m considering selling my shitty iPad Air 2 for this, but as it would be used as a tablet (I have a T420 as my main laptop) it has to run Android. Does anyone know how Android runs on this? Thanks in advance.

This machine is harder to get working on Windows than on Linux. Just saying...

I recently acquired one of these but had to order a HDD mounting kit for it seems a nice bit of kit, that expansion port might be the intel HDD boost module port. I believe that they can have upto a 2GB module for this

Great!

Great video those are war machines :) i have 1 x200T core2duo 1 x201T i7 and 1 T420 i5 and they are still awesome in 2019 all 3 with ssd and win10 64 bit and 8gb Thinkpads are really nice machines :)
