i purchased a refurbished ibm x20 about sixth months ago from a 2nd hand IT retailer .

screen 12.1" 1024x768 tft
cpu , p3-600
ram - variable , 128-320mb
hdd- 20gb
graphics - 4mb ati chip
2x usb 1
1x pcmcia port
1x compact flash port
wieght . 1.4kg

Review: i bought the laptop primarily because i wanted a vaery light laptop and this one provided the best spec for the money.

Mine had 320mb ram, and i have installed windows XP pro on it which runs perfectly well on it, despite the relatively low power of the cpu.

The battery life is surprsingly good, (given the battery was not new) and i get between 2 and 3 hrs on it depending on settings and what programs i am running.

the machine is so light you hardly notice it in your bag, the screen is great and offers a nice 1024x768 which is perfect for the sie of the screen (12.1 inches) and the hdd at 20gb is very generous for the age of the laptop.


only a couple of gripes., There is no driver for the inbuilt compact flash reader if you want to use windows xp, but it will work on win 98 and linux.

and the graphics arent really up to much, but are ok, for older action games and strategy games.

the build quality, as with all ibm's in my experience is spot on...

Overall i'd recomend it to anyone interested in a cheap and highly portable laptop
