Some of the things I really like about this:
The X60s is a leap forward in performance over the X41 and offers more in terms of ports and features. Some will find the built-in EVDO antenna an irresistible feature, some will love the extra USB port and FireWire. Personally, the off the scale battery life has me all a flutter about this notebook and I believe is the real story. As I type now I'm flying between London and New York and with 1.5 hours left in the flight, the battery life is still at 49% (estimated 3hours and 8 minutes of usage left). I've been using the notebook screen at full brightness with wi-fi off for a total of about 4 hours during time at the airport and on the 6.5 hour flight.
...Overall, I have some minor complaints that have been stated previously in the review, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this most excellent travel notebook to anyone that thrives on being portable, carrying the least weight possible and getting the most bang in terms of performance and chart topping battery life.
- 6 hour battery life!
- IBM name and reliability (and yes I know they were sold to Lenovo). I've owned several IBM ThinkPads in the past and have never had and significant problems with any of them. They're bulit like tanks!
- 80 GB hard drive
- It only weighs 3 pounds!
Two other reviews here and here.
I've been keeping my eyes out for a good new laptop ever since my Sony crahed during finals week last semester with all my notes on it. That little snafu cost me a full letter grade in Walter Williams' class. (I had back-ups of all my files. Unfortunately, I take all my notes in OneNote and had to go through contortions to find a computer I could read them on. Also lost lots of study time on the phone with Sony tech support.) I'm currenly on my fourth motherboard, second LCD and second hard drive (after only 6 or 7 months of purchasing it). I think it's about time for a replacement...Sony just came out with this laptop. If it wasn't for my problems with my last Sony, I might be looking at this too...
One thing that is neat about both the new IBM (Lenovo) and new Sony is that they have wireless modems built-in. I expect the prices for these services to come down and for bandwidths to get better. I love thinking about how this technology could be used in my attempts at being a citizen journalist, like at the Abdul Rahman rally yesterday. Equipped with a good digital camera and a laptop with a wireless modem, you could attend an event, write an entry, and get it posted all within an hour. I used to do freelance writing and photography for a newspaper in Fort Payne, AL, back in the days of film. The thought of being able to post an article with pictures and self-publish in the length of time it takes to write the story absolutely blows my mind!
Keep the technology coming!!!

The LCD screen review from www.nbkit.com
14" LCD screen is very pupular in year 2009 and 2010,. In past 5 years , 14.1 is classical and brilliant , but in today, 14.0 replaced her. Compare to 14.1" CCFL backlight, 1280x 800 resolution, big weight, big consumption 14.0 " LCD Screen has LED back light, slim and light, 1366x768 resolution and low consumption. And the more important , from 14.1 to 14" perhaps only this 0.1" , just the 0.1" save many cost for laptop manufactures... 14" laptop for man or women, not heavy and easy to travel and perfect display effect. inevitable it take up 35% seat at laptop market. NBkit.com statics shows that in most size laptops, 14" has very low repair rate. compared to other size LCD screens.
