Thinkpad x20x (s/t/i) Owners Thread

I have just received my x201s this evening and have already run some tests

1 60Y7853 SBB WIN7LANPACK US ENGLISH

Did yours arrive with EE sticker on it?

What kinda battery life are you x201s owners getting? I have a 6-cell, and I'm not getting anywhere near the claimed 7 hour battery life. I'm hovering around 5.5 hours. For comparison's sake, would you mind sharing your idle wattage and how long your x201s serves you on battery? Thanks.

Where did you find this price? Better than I've been finding.

Thanks

Unfortunately, MacMall cancelled my order and send me with following notice:

"We apologize for the inconvenience but your online order for the TP X201 I7-640LM/2GB/250/12.1/W7P/TAB LENOVO was automatically cancelled by our system. We were informed today by the manufacturer that our purchase order was cancelled. According to them the item is End Of Life already with no direct replacement."

@josibarns: Does your x201s 9 cell battery life really get 10+ hours with actual working? If it is, I will consider to get this model. Please advice.

I'm the one who posted that. You get 10+ hours with brightness at the minimum and working on a word file.

I brightness is set at 6 and you do internet browsing and word typing the battery life goes down to 8:30 hours

I have to say that it is really disappointing but on the other hand the i7 is really fast

I'm hoping that either Microsoft, Intel or Lenovo will figure out a patch to reduce the power consumption while on battery.

I am myself trying to write a powershell script to deactivate some win7 services automatically when the laptop is unplugged. I might need a little help to identify which services draw most of the power.

If you mean the Lenovo Enhanced Experience, then yes.

Thanks for reply. Even 8:30 hours are great. My Macbook Pro can only last about 2:40 hours only. If install a SSD and disable some window service, the unit may even better. How about the x201s weight with 9 cell battery? Is it less than 4 pounds?

Any one has a X201T with a 3g mode and 8 cell bat. I would like to know how long will the batt last with 3g on the whole time.

I don't know if anyone's posted this yet, but I tested my X201s, X200 UltraBase and a StarTech DisplayPort to HDMI passive converter cable -- audio works over HDMI!

The thick one is my t60p and the other is my brand new x201s with a 9 cell battery

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but apparently the right-speaker-not-working issue on the X201 is a software problem, not hardware. Lenovo has released a fixed driver that can be downloaded from their website here.

@josibarns: Cool, thanks for the pictures - looks very nice!
