Review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X200T, Manufactured in 2008
<!-- Published on 11/10/2025 -->
The Lenovo ThinkPad X200T is a peculiar notebook, built at a time when companies sought to add unique and creative features without necessarily relying on new technologies developed specifically for that purpose. Among its most notable characteristics are: a touchscreen for stylus use, physical front switches for internet access, light sensors for automatic brightness adjustment, an easily removable keyboard for internal component access, and the famous red TrackPoint, exclusive to the ThinkPad line.
Inside, the ThinkPad X200T features low-voltage Intel Core Penryn-generation processors, offering a competent balance between performance and energy efficiency for its time. With support for up to 8 GB of DDR3 memory, it handles light to moderate multitasking with ease. Its storage used traditional hard drives or 1.8- or 2.5-inch SSDs, allowing simple upgrades and easy maintenance. Despite its compact size, it provides a solid variety of ports, including USB, VGA, SD card reader, and proprietary Lenovo connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of peripherals.
Another technical highlight is its 12.1-inch touchscreen, available in resolutions ranging from WXGA to WXGA+, designed to work with a stylus powered by Wacom digitizer technology — a notable advantage for those who work with handwritten notes and drawing. In addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, some models included WWAN connectivity for mobile internet access, reinforcing its professional purpose. Its removable battery, combined with extended battery options, provided good autonomy for the time, making the X200T a reliable tool for those who needed real mobility. These technical elements, together with its durable construction and classic ThinkPad design, made the X200T a memorable machine within Lenovo’s catalog.
