That's true Michael, but first it needs to boot! :)  BIOS setup should 
show this also.  My son mailed me the invoice, which says it's a model 
7455 (true by one label) -33M (yes an Oz model), but the serial number 
supplied on the invoice gives 'error unknown' on the Lenovo parts page.

"Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Notebook, Black Intel Core2 Duo Processor P8600 
(2.40 GHz) 2GB DDR3 Memory No Optical Drive 12.1" WXGA (1280x800) LED 
Backlit Display 64GB Solid State Drive Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD 
Graphics High Definition Audio Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Wireless 
802.11 (a/g/n) LAN Webcam Media Card Reader, Fingerprint Reader 1x VGA, 
3x USB Ports, 1x RJ-45, 1x RJ-11 No Battery, No AC Adapter and Power 
Cable No OS, HDD Formatted, Operation System and Application & Drivers 
media not included. . (P/N: 745533M) (SN:xxxxxx-xx) (xxxxxx-xx)"

The service manual says -33x models come with CCFL not LED backlight and 
a SATA HDD of various sizes, not the 64GB SSD that is installed.

I might be worrying unduly, but removel of the S/N label and a dodgy 
serial number on the invoice feels a bit sus to me, and might be 
sufficient basis for a refund, though my son's not bothered.

Perhaps you're convincing me to take the punt :)  Given the above specs, 
should it run fine on 9.2 or stable/9?  Suspend and resume 100% working?

cheers, Ian
