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.
