Comment Re:Thinkpad X-series (Score 1) 479
I as well purchased this laptop. x60s with the extended battery (lasts about 5 hours in my case) and EV-DO. I purchased it immediately when it came out.
It is, hands down, the best piece of hardware I've ever owned in my life. Sure, I recommend Mac's to my friends so I don't have to fix them, but for my hard core, mobile friends, the x60s (now the x61) simply can not be beat.
Another thing that doesn't always come into play when deciding on a laptop is the keyboard. I'd never tested a Thinkpad keyboard prior to making my purchase, however it's the best one I've ever used, including regular desktop keyboards. It was so good I've actually purchased a USB version of the Thinkpad keyboard to use with my desktop.
If anyone is interested in doing additional research on a Thinkpad model, I recommend www.thinkpads.com forums. The folks there are pretty hardcore about their machines. Plenty of good information and assistance is available there.
Good luck and safe travels!
