Do you have some more powerful machine in the background? If yes, you can
either create binary packages on this machine and only install them on your
laptop, or use distcc for moving the big compilation tasks to this other
machine.
Using binary packages, I can still use a Lenovo SL510, which seems to have
similar properties regarding CPU and RAM than the X200, with all desktop
programs, including full KDE/plasma, Firefox, libreoffice, etc.
