I have to agree with this list, the original X200 panel is really crappy. I bought and AFFS a while ago, which is very nice, but even that is dim with today's standards.
He might very well be a cat, but it's true that Thinkpads are sold with very different panels, even in the same Thinkpad model[1].

The x260, for instance, can have a 300:1 contrast ratio, 200 candelas screen, or a 700/1, 300 candelas screen.
[1] Would "model" be the right term then?
again I have an x200, I think at the time Lenovo offered less options, if at all. They changed after too many complaints, and I believe that's why 220 - 260, ... have better screens and more choice
I assumed by x200 you meant x200-series.
I love old-ish laptops, but how is that Core 2 Duo holding up? No touchpad, 1200x800 screen... What do you do with it, if it's not much to ask? I'm truly curious.

Not OP, but my workplace computer is a Dell notebook with a Core i5 CPU underclocked to 750Mhz. I also use an X220i with a Core i3 CPU underclocked to 800MHz (because it will not run at lower speeds). Both offer excellent performance for everything I do. I never use the touchpad, both screens are fine IMO.
Things I do: small-scale data analysis and statistical modelling with Klong and Scheme, plotting graphs, compiling C programs, typesetting with Troff, browsing the Web with Javascript off.
1) you have a non x200
2) there were different models and I got the shittiest panel
3) my panel is broken
4) you're a cat
