Agreed. The time and money spent beefing up a 240X to 320MB RAM could be
better spent on an X31 or X32. With only slightly more weight and size,
either would be significantly better than the 240 in terms of specs and
useability. The X40's main negative is that it's more limited in hard
drive upgradeability than even the 240.

I know it's none of my business, but why are you so keen on getting a
240X? I'm a big fan of ultraportable Thinkpads, having had a 701, a 560,
a 570, an X22, an X31 and now an X60s and an X100e. I also had very
briefly a 240X (configured it for a friend) and frankly, the build
quality was nothing to boast home about. Have you considered an X31
(almost as light as the 240X) or an X40 (lighter), which have way better
specs (eg. maximum supported amount of RAM) and are much better built
too? I'd say even the X100e is a better deal (the price difference of a
10+ years old machine vs. a brand new one under warranty is worth it).
Well, it's your money, your time and your hassle ;-)
Cheers, Dominique
