T61 got diff models, integrate graphics one and discrete one...also the resolution are different.

my X201 can run at lowest details.

hmm I just have sc2 ...and install on t61p

It auto default choose which is the best settings.

I tried alot of option but in the end back click to default settings


so far can play but I find it while moving the cursor seem lag/slow and still can play

the image movement is not that fast like playing wc3 ..when it run smooth on t61p .

just bought a x201,

wonder what kind of accessories should i get and where can i get them

any recommendations ?

 

[ryhn]

2nd power adaper is a must if you use it at several locations.
If you travel alot, get an extra 9-cell battery.
If you do not like the noise of the 7200rpm hdd, get a SSD.
If you use 3G, get a Gobi2000 module (can get from me , best price on market).

My X201 came with Seagate 500gb 7200rpm 16mb cache HDD.

I itchy finger change it to WDC Scorpio black, 500gb 7200rpm and 16mb cache.

Reason being I don't like Seagate HDD. All my PCs running on WDC Black.

My 3 desktops running WDC Black 640gb

My 2 X61 running WDC Black 320gb

I bought a Logitech anywhere mouse with nano receiver and darkfield sensor for $130 for my X201.

Forget to mention that I also spend a bomb buying original software for my X201.

Adobe CS5 Design Premium $119
MS Office 2010 Pro $122
MS Windows 7 Ultimate $129

 

[ginseng1]

In case you are wondering, I'm able to purchase it at acad pricing as I'm a staff one of the IHL. That's one of the perks and also enable me to purchase original software.

Yes, it is. I had a customer use the same model x200t.

me and my wife got our x100es last weekend. so far very very happy with the keyboard and the screen. =)

Congratulations! Hows the battery life and general performance?

@edling - Wow, am pretty surprised that the integrated graphics on the X201 can run Starcraft II! What resolution are you running?

 

[acquiesce]

Congratulations! Hows the battery life and general performance?

For general use it should be fine. I tried playing DOTA on it and it was very smooth. Playing HD/MKV videos out of the box though is not good. I had to update the driver of the video card and install Media Player Classic before it ran smoothly. The keyboard and the screen is fantastic.

Battery life, I havent tested so far but based from one of the guys here it should be around 4.5 hrs on a full charge. Overall I can say I'm happy with the x100e specially at the price I got it. =)

One minor gripe though is that it doesnt have the num lock/numeric keypads which i didnt notice until I got it. Haha!

You mean this particular model of x200 tablet has a wwan antenna and is wwan ready? I don't quite get you from your reply. Maybe you can be more specific? Thank you.

 

[ryhn]

He got the same model and bought card from me. So I think it is wwan ready.

Even if it doen't, still can upgrade use one wwan antenna.

 

[nonamedude]

oh ok. so ryhn, do you still have anymore wwan card on sale? guess i just missed the sales you put up yesterday since it is taken down this afternoon. would appreciate if you can forward me the pricing of the wwan cards, esp f3507g or any compatible ones, anyway does it include any installation discs/software?

The default drivers do not allow hardware acceleration for full HD/flash. This is why you notice an improvement once you updated the drivers.

yes. initially had to research a bit on this since most reviewers claim they can play hd movies out of the box.
