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?
Thanks!

I migrated from a Thinkpad X31 to a X40 last year. For travel the X40 is
great, light weight and small. Plus, when that clown in front of me has
his seat slammed into my knees I can still use the laptop. Granted the
screen and keyboard are small, but sufficient for doing email and such on
the road. At home I just plug into the docking station with a full size
keyboard and 20in monitor. The thing is pretty rugged, been on a lot of
flights, dropped, kicked around and still works fine.
The down side is the lack of built in CD. I dont find that a
real problem anymore but 2GB+ usb sticks. I have the Ultrabase but I
dont use it much, just takes up room in my case.

Joe, Is the Ultrabase a docking station? Or what name does the
docking station go by?
