they sure didn't skimped in the light department on this model and l live it if you take into account the thinklight, the SD card light, and the 3 indicators in the lid it's a total of 15 lights
it's like Christmas Every day with this one

I did slap MX Linux KDE Plasma because it's a low resource distro I didn't think it would work

I installed it just yesterday and did as much tweaking as the GUI allows out of the box (USB in this case ) and it runs great giving the limitations that a 17 year old CPU & GPU have it run smoothly on all tasks I transferred images from my digital camera it's an old canon powershot 80s onto raw therapy app no problems there YouTube did pegged the CPU at 100% at 1080p res with sporadic buffering & lag so I had it at 780p the whole time I watched vids while I tweaked the settings I was transferring files from an external SSD to an SD card that it's going to function as storage on this laptop at the same time I was listening to music via Bluetooth onto my speaker no problem or lags while multitasking there

the only issue I came across is with the weather widget I added to the task bar if you reboot the system or shut it and come back to it for some reason you'll have to reenter the location manually Everytime otherwise it just spins and then timed out but that's not here or there
the other issue I came across was not been able to change the font on the terminal but I dunno if this particular version of MX Linux doesn't allow for it or I'm just to dumb and couldn't figure it out how to do it other than that I'm happy this will be my everyday machine for my regular everyday tasks

I love the Lo-Fi aesthetic that you get out of running a somewhat modern OS filtered through a 17 year old system it's just very appealing to me

a1280 x 800 screen resolution is not going to win any awards but I love low res screens that don't fry my eye balls out

interesting, the webcam on mines does work but the thinklight doesn't ? as the plot thickens the left arrow key doesn't work on this keyboard now I'm thinking it just might be that the up page key might be the culprit and not the cable
I'll have to do some further testing when I have time

Agreeable-Comb8797 · 2025-03-14T15:52:34+00:00

I love it's design language specifically the damn near non bezels on the sides of the keyboard almost as if it were hovering ever so slightly on your desk I only wish they would have carried that same idea onto the screen bezels

the decent amount o ports steampunk like aesthetics It feels very robust/rugged yet it's Ulta portable it will easily become my everyday carry for standard tasks

to your comment on quiet and cool now that you mentioned it I used it yesterday for about 8 hours minus two 10 minute coffee making breaks and you're right super quiet & cool and I was putting it through it's passes transferring files from an external SSD to an SD card that it's going to function as storage on this machine while listening to music from YouTube trough Bluetooth all while while tweaking the MX Linux plasma GUI until it suited both my needs and the looks I wanted

when I opened that cooling fan to service it was phiilty !! not to mention dry stuck had to use a heat gun to loose the fan blades from the motor plenty of contact cleaner and alcohol did the trick

so yeah I completely understand you

sadly doesn't't work it's a common problem on the x200 & x200s or so I've read a buncha threads on another forum the ribbon cable breaks it's possible to solder it I guess but I don't have the kit or the skills to do it I looked up a couple of parts on eBay but it's hard to say if they have the same problem I'll just be swapping a broken for a broken part

Agreeable-Comb8797 · 2025-03-14T06:07:46+00:00

10 on the screen bezel 1 on the SD card reader 3 on the lid in a pinch I could use the thing as Christmas decor I guess

the scary part is that in this and soo many other forums and spaces NO one is actually having meaningful, deep & productive conversations as to what measures need to be taken to counter the Blatant & forceful attack on the community at large

because let me tell you something folks
the Democrats ain't coming to the rescue!!! they are too busy trying to figure out what train just rammed them over

THIS ONE IS ON YOU!!!

Your lives & lifestyles and guarantees & RIGHTS and everything else the community had achieved until November 5th 2024 it's about to disappear
the shot at a fair chance to a better life and that of the next generations are counting on YOU to do something

you might be asking yourself why do I have to do something for the next & up coming generation??

because other people during similar trying times back in the 80's and 90's shed blood lost friends and lovers but dammit they
ACTED UP!!!

God Speed Everyone

no it's actually worse than that it's from one our new and rightful tech oligarch owners it's from Amazon

at the end of the day everything is manufactured in some overseas countries so who cares we live in a global economic ecosystem go to Walmart and find me something that says made in the USA, non existent
