Hey guys,

I currently own the X60 Tablet but I am seriously regretting that I have purchased one. My tablet has XGA (1024x768) resolution so you can't really have two documents side by side and work on it.

I am seriously considering to buy the T61. IBM/Lenovo is currently clearing them out and the price seems right. The only negative side though is the weight and size. T61 offers the best performance & resolution (WXGA+) for my need but its about 6.5cm longer and 1~1.25 pounds heavier. My X60 Tablet currently weighs 4.5lbs exactly with 8 cell.

What do you think? I don't plan on gaming or anything like that but I just can't handle the XGA resolution.

i would go with the heavier one...its when you break the 3lb limit that you really start noticing the laptop (for myself anyways)

so at this point, the 1lb isn't too big of a diff i guess...
