There are no many differences between the appearances of Lenovo ThinkPad X200s and ThinkPad X200. The Lenovo ThinkPad X200s seems to be lighter and thinner than Lenovo ThinkPad X200 when you take it with your hands, which may be because of the fan.

I will disassemble both Lenovo ThinkPad X200 and Lenovo ThinkPad X200s, and let you know not only the differences of appearances but also the internal structures of them. It is worthy for you to have a look.

Hi mark rose, I am sure you can upgrade it, but it is wiser for you to ask after-sale service or Lenovo for further upgrade info.  (Quote)  (Reply)

higher resolution photos would be nice, anyway it’s very useful comparison. thanks a lot!

BTW. The CPU is soldered to the motherboard so the only upgrade is new CPU-Motherboard replacement.  (Quote)  (Reply)
