Hi, Recently I got a 'new-to-me' refurbished X201, with an Intel Core i5 M 520, 4 Gb RAM and 120 Gb SSD. I run OpenBSD on it. Any things to know about X201's? Weak spots, things to keep an eye on? Thanks, Best regards, Matto

Fan is quiet though. I don't use it for much else than fooling with the car as it is very portable for that. I find the docking station useful, and that's cheap. On Windows 10 (an early build - 1903?), if ye disconnect an external monitor via switching connections via a VGA KVM (Belkin Omniview Pro3), it autoswitches to the internal LCD - and if ye are unlucky to have the lid closed, the machine either goes to sleep or crashes. Though that could be Windows 10 being too "helpful", I've not had much luck trying to disable this behaviour. -- Adrian C
