Try booting FreeBSD on it and see if the specs are true. There are fake X200 around with an Atom CPU inside: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=3Dde&sl=3Dzh-CN&tl=3Den&u=3Dhttp%3= A%2F%2Fwww.shanzhaiben.com%2F37%2Fn-4837.html&sandbox=3D1 >=20 > Lars: >=20 > > Oh, and FreeBSD just runs very fine on the X200.

Suspend and resume 100% working? I'm running CURRENT on the X200 since I own it. I think I started with 9-CURRENT on it. Suspend/Resume works pretty good. After the second resume the USB ports are dead, but that can be fixed: http://unethicalblogger.com/2013/12/03/scratchiest-neckbeard-freebsd-x200.h= tml (which didn't work for me, but the USB 3.0 PCIe card works after resuming, so I don't care). So, I'm very happy with the notebook. :) --SLk8PSyqxe/ugcCT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (FreeBSD) iKYEARECAGYFAlL9IIlfFIAAAAAALgAoaXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3Bl bnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDE3RkMwOEUxNUUwOUJEMjE0ODlFMjA1MDI5 Q0U3NURBQzBGNzY5RjgACgkQKc512sD3afgwCACeK2NmGGUH1svx2Fvzgr4vtWzF kf0AoIYOuPMp1axB43v7QQ6Tbk0dYhqE =YHI+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SLk8PSyqxe/ugcCT--
