Installed Software - Please Read!

  • Windows 10 Pro + updates
  • Some great wallpapers and themes
  • I have recently been informed by Ebay that I am violating policy by installing Free software - without including the installation media - in other words the CD or DVD - for FREE software!! So for this reason I have to stop configuring my laptops with the useful free tools that the authors want you to have. However - feel free to contact me and I can advise you on FREE software - basically it's impossible for me to include these media because just about all software these days is downloadable straight from the net. Please accept my apologies for this change in configuration but it is outside of my control and I have no wish to go against Ebay policy.

You may be able to find similar laptops on EBay - but I suggest that you will not find another one as nicely configured as this one - it really  is in good condition. I urge you to compare the specification and also the software that is actually installed before you decide. I spend many hours on each project and you will be getting a first class refurbished machine that will give you great service and if treated with care and respect will last many years. I only deal in Lenovo Thinkpads because I really do think they are the best -  I specialise  in X41, X41 tablet, X61, X61S, X60 Tablet, X61 tablet, X200, X200S, X200T, T61, R61, R61i, Z61,X300, X301 and T400. Please continue reading below for more information about this laptop!
 
Here once again I have refurbished a superb "ultra-portable" Thinkpad X200S laptop - see the photos and you will see what I mean. These ultra-portables were designed for "on the go" owners, businessmen or scholars or engineers where lightweight was important. You can see from the photos that this particular laptop has been carefully treated and well maintained - it's in very good overall condition! There is a decent extended battery with this particular laptop which has 65% remaining capacity. 

This is a lovely clean laptop with the usual excellent build quality. It's perfect for business use, or studying or just browsing the internet, playing music, movies etc. Being ultraportable it is very light and tidy - these laptops have no built-in CD / DVD Drive.  Expansion capability is provided by the "Ultrabase" accessory ( not included) which accepts a range of drive options and allows great port expansion. Alternatively with three built-in USB ports available, a variety of Flash Drives or external CD/DVD Readers or Writers can easily be connected - this laptop has the power to drive them all. The Laptop comes with an AC power supply / charger block.

Note: Most of the pictures are of the item itself. My digital camera does not do the laptop any real justice - it is a gem and looks very nice!" If you have a son or daughter returning to university soon (or yourself) then this is perfect - especially as the Libre Office suite of programs is installed - equivalent Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc. Everything a student needs! 

I have cleaned the laptop inside and out and inspected it carefully. Everything works perfectly as it should - the cooling fan has been thoroughly cleaned and new thermal paste has been applied; good cooling is important because there is a lot of power in these small laptops - the dual core is now running at a nice chilly 30 degrees lol. The W10 operating system runs really well on these little laptops and is "feature rich". There is nothing more that can be done to this computer except to turn it on and start to enjoy its great performance. The quality of Thinkpads speaks for itself and spare parts, memory and / or disk upgrades are readily available on EBay. Weighs just 1.5 Kg (!!) including the battery and when released these laptops sold for £1800 upwards (no joke)!

Note: I always make a point of highlighting any problem areas and showing them clearly in the photos. The base of this laptop is actually from a X200 - this gives more room around the fan / heatsink. There is nothing else to report here! Great, light, reasonably priced ultraportable.

I am a qualified electronics engineer recently retired early from working in the electronics manufacturing and test sector ( for many years!) and I  enjoy diagnosing and fixing these Lenovo laptops. My side-line is refurbishment and I pay great attention to detail. I do not sell on any laptop that I am not totally happy with. If I can make a small profit on each laptop - then that allows me to continue with this process and pays for my coffee beans lol! I am a one man band and do not compete with some of the larger sellers on Ebay - in fact I even buy some of their broken laptops! I like to think I offer a personal service and I am always available to offer advice about laptops, electronics etc.

I have been asked by some buyers about warranty - well hopefully you won't ever need this. These laptops are over six years old and still running well. As a sole trader I cannot really offer a comprehensive warranty it's not possible or realistic. However if the laptop fails within 14 days through no fault of the buyer then of course I will consider repair or replacement. I will always offer a practical solution. If you are unlucky enough to have problems in the future then get in touch because I can often help and my diagnosis and repair rates are significantly cheaper than High Street prices. I also keep a range of spare parts.

This is a fantastic "ultra-portable" laptop for a very fair price with great software - the total package. Check out my 100% positive feedback if you have any remaining doubts and look up these X200S laptops on YouTube for even more information before you buy. I guarantee you will not be disappointed - this laptop is worth every penny! 

I have described this lovely compact laptop as honestly and completely as possible BUT please remember that it is refurbished and not new - so there will be signs of use consistent with a used laptop (but not many). If you want perfection then please buy a new laptop.

Perfect for that return to University, or that commute on the train or even as a replacement desktop computer. Why not take this opportunity to learn Linux Mint - a great open-source (and free) operating system!!?

Thanks for reading my listing all the way through and Good luck!!
