    Inexpensive ultra portable (NON-netbook)?

    Try an IBM X40 or X41 - 12.1" screen, 60GB and under $400, pluss, terrific battery life (and built to last!). If you've got the extra $150, go for the X60/61 as recommended by Spike.

    Thinkpad X200 came in today...

    I'm going to answer this not from experience from the x200, but from my lowly x40. It should be able dual displays like that no problem - if my 4 year old notebook can, then the brand new one certainly can!

    Suggest a device for me

    Try and find a used IBM X40 or X41 - 2.7 lbs, 12" LCD, and the 'normal' workings of a PC, and none of the limitations of the cheaper netbooks. They can be found for under $350 (for the X40) - I love mine and heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight and durable platform with good...

    FlexATX Motherboard Upgrade for Shuttle?

    I don't think flexATX really hit home with many mobo manufacturers - there haven't been too many that I have seen.
