I'm pondering purchasing a new laptop... my old Vaio is absolutely
ancient, heavy, and slow (800MHz).

Specifically I'm looking at the ThinkPad X61s notebook.

Anyone experienced with this product?

Alternates?


A new Vaio!

Do they come in a light-weight version?

Mine is the midweight version, about 4 pounds, but it has a 4+ hour
battery life, enough to watch a DVD and get some work done on a plane.
I got it a couple years ago for about $1400, but they're cheaper and
have bigger screens now. They have a really light version, but it's
more expensive.
