Thinkpad x201s

I only had this one for a short while. Although its a nice machine, I couldn't fathom its rather high power consumption. Around 2W more than than the x200s (most of the time even more). And the display was underwhelming. Good resolution, but terrible colours and contrast. I sold it off on the 33c3, a wee bit below the price I paid for it.
I always wanted one, and now I had one. I would take one, but not for the price that is usually paid for these.

Disposition

Sold because it was not as good as expected. Certainly not worth its hefty price tag.
