X200s, 11/2008. Though I'm /very/ careful with my ThinkPad there's a
small break on the right[1] I don't where it comes from. The lid
edges where battered[2] after two weeks. There are clear gaps
between the display and its frame. The display is slightly curved at
the bottom. It's not that bad---but it's an 1700 Euro device ...
