[sfoanna]

Drat! I missed the x200 ultrabase outlet sale (the site wasn't working Tuesday and now they're all gone.)

Newb here.....this is a stupid question, I know....but will the below item, also in the outlet, also read and burn CDs?

Thanks!

Better to look stoopid for a few seconds than buy the wrong product I say.

How much was the dock in the outlet? There was someone selling one on TP.com for $100 a few weeks back or you could try eBay too.

Timing is key in the outlet. They were selling 65w adapters that work with both my ThinkPads for $8, but I hesitated. Now they're gone. I'm looking for those and a four-cell for the X200, but I'm on no hurry.

This will read and burn CD's as well as DVD's. However, this is an ULTRABAY drive and requires either a two spindle machine (T400, w500, et. al.) or the Ultrabase. It will NOT work with an x200 without the Ultrabase.


ZaZ - They were selling the x200 Ultrabase as a 'Scratch and Dent' in the outlet for $75. There are also several x200 9 cell batteries for $45 (link).

Not very happy with the screen of x201 and one of its speakers is DOA

Good move. The extra screen real estate, lower power usage and weight are all really nice.

Just got my x201, when I tested my speakers, it sounded like it only has one speaker. Does anyone knows where the two speakers are located if there are two speakers? Thanks!

Got my X201 on monday... i like it a lot but... the screen contrast would brighten out of no where, making things hard to read, only happen 2x but found it strange, a quick hibernate/wake up fixes it.

I also have that annoying cpu/fan? noise pitch whine , I don't hear it at all most of the time but when the room is dead silent it can be distracting...

Looks like its going back to Lenovo. Oh and as for speakers, I only hear it from one speaker as well... idk I thought it only had one. /strug

201s/t should all be mono speaker. goal is portability. not like your missing out on much anyway, they are still laptop speakers. from what i've heard, even premium laptop speakrs still suck . though the concept is sweet

Can anyone with X200 Ultrabase try audio over DisplayPort?

Bump

anyword on display to HDMI? or Future base w/hdmi? I know vga is the buisness standard (for projectors) but the single HD audio/video cable is the prefered solution here at UCHSC
