Sorry to hear about that - I've got an x200 and it's been rock solid since I got it in november. I think I like it even more than I liked the 12in Aluminum PowerBook that it replaced.

PowerBooks have this modernist minimalist thing going on, but my x200 has a highly evolved, almost organic quality to it. I see tons of powerbooks and Asus/Acer/whatever laptops around, and a ThinkPad is so clunky-looking it's like a geeky cool pair of thick-framed glasses. And it runs Linux really well.
