Just a small hint.... after the 60 series all thinkpads rock... but I wouldn't go to T series unless you'll be moving quite seldom. My advice is a whooping X61, ultraportable yet powerful and really silent.
I thought about the X61. However, my laptop will rarely leave my desk and will spend much of it's life in a docking station.
If I really need portability (flying, camping) and I'm just going to be writing code in vim, then I use my trusty Sony Vaio SR17, weighing in at less than 3 pounds (~1.3KG). I paid about 2400USD for it new in 2000; works like a charm. I'm still getting my moneys worth out of it. :-)
