The title says it all. The Tindie page says

Processor : i5 or lower -> 65W , i7 -> 90W

And I imagine the Intel Core 2 Duo L9400 (2) @ 1.867GHz my X200s has fit in that i5 or lower category but I just wanted to get a thumbs up before I pull the trigger on the 65w version.

If you are interested in USB C charging mods yourself by the way he has versions for different models.

Most likely doesn't matter. If you prefer to maximize charging speed then 90 watts but in theory it will worn out the battery slightly faster.

Have you librebooted your X200s?

I have. Is that relevant somehow?

Just curious. Did you replace the WSON-8 with SOIC-8?

It's been several years and I also did my ASUS C201P around that time so I'm not sure sorry. I can double check when I open it up though
