    I ordered the x200 through this deal and it arrived today.

    The only problem right now is that cpu whine. Only happens at max CPU usage though, which is ok. Going to try to disable things people have mentioned in previous threads.

    Strangely, I got 3-years warranty from this deal. Expires 7/2012. Tigerdirect only said one.

    Besides that one issue, I'm content with it. Small, portable, and just the size I was looking for.

    Very nice, congrats!. I am waiting for mine to arrive. Should be quite a change in many ways for me since I am coming from a T61p with a 9 cell :D

    The whine only happened when I was stressing with ORTHOS on "blend" mode. After I changed the mode or ran it normally, there wasn't much noise at all.

    When you buy a preconfigured machine from a reseller it normally has a 3 year warranty.
