The rumor started back at the end of April, when we covered that the ThinkPad X200 would receive a low-cost CULV processor to make it more competitive, even without a whole new product series or chassis redesign. A couple weeks later, we posted that Lenovo did announce a new model of the ThinkPad X200s, one equipped with an Intel Celeron M processor.
Today we bring you news that Lenovo is now offering the ThinkPad X200s with Celeron M processor on the U.S. website for purchase today. The system is overall very barebones, but does get you into the splendid design of the ThinkPad X200s for a mere $999 bones.
You can see the baseline specs to the right which will get you a system for $999, but right now it’s even better than that.
Until June 10th, you can get an additional 15% off which brings the out the door price to $849. Hit the link below to go to Lenovo’s site and configure your own X200s!
