Words of wisdom from Mr. Ross... While I would avoid X41T at all costs due to its ridiculously slow and essentially-non-upgradeable 1.8"/4200 hard drive, X60T and X61T are splendid little machines.
I'm still kicking myself for parting with SXGA+ version of X60T last year...and that takes a lot.

If you're a student you should also consider a Tablet PC, such as the X40t/X60t/X200t series. (For clarification: not a "tablet" like the iPad or android tablets, but a notebook with a digitizer.) This is the only kind of computer I allow my students to use in class. I've seen the X61t available refurbished for under $600 from dealers who will ship to the UK; this was the last Thinkpad tablet to come in a 4:3 screen, and some came with a 1400x1050 IPS screen.
