think tank forum

here is what i have:

lenovo thinkpad x200s (7465-cto)
12.1" wxga led-backlit lcd panel
intel core2 duo sl9400 (1.86 ghz, 6 mb l2, 1066 mhz fsb)
4gb pc3-8500 ddr3 sd-ram (2 dimm)
320 gb 5400 rpm hdd
atheros bgn wifi, bluetooth
9-cell battery

i took apart my lid a while ago to investigate what modifications will work in my laptop. as a result, here is what i want to upgrade:

lcd panel
i'm going to install a boe-hydis lcd panel. see this thread on notebookreview.com. i'll probably get this panel (hv121wx4) on ebay from a recommended seller, although i'm still looking at other panel options.

camera
i'm going to install a web camera, too. i'll probably buy the kit (fru 42w8015) from this guy.

I want to get a X200 next year, when the new Intel and AMD CPU's hit the market, which "should" be quit a step forward in speed & power saving
... I'm just afraid there will only be a 16:9 version by then (As with the T410/T510).

where do i read about said processors?

Here's a nice summary:

i should probably install an ssd too, huh?

I got a SSD for 70 euro: OCZ Onyx 32GB.

Works fairly well, good price/quality ratio IMHO.

i got the camera for $40 shipped from wongchuham on ebay. it works nicely.
