better buy?

[Corporate Thug]

contemplating between these two systems:

Fujistsu S6120

-14" display 1024*768
-40 gb HDD
-Intel mobile centrino 1.4ghz processor
-512mb RAM
-2 batteries (when used together, 6 hours of battery life)
-Removeable CDRW/DVD drive
-4 pounds with the optical drive out and 1 battery
-no warrenty (but obviously in working order)
-$1100

or

IBM X30
-PIII-M 1.2-GHz
-40 gb HDD
-512MB RAM
-12-inch 1024*768
-1 battery but lasts 5 hours
-no optical drives (i will be using my own external)
-little more than 3.5 pounds without optical drive and batter
-warrenty until late 2005/early 2006
-$900

i will use it for school work, surfing the web, email, notes, etc...

can either or both of these hook up to my LCD?

I'd buy the Fujitsu, no warranty notwithstanding, assuming everything works and I can trust the seller.

they are both local deals, with each person offering a trial period

I'd go with the Fujitsu- bigger screen, built-in optical drive, two batteries, faster processor.

Agreed, though no warranty on a laptop could likely come back to haunt you later

Fujitsu - just make sure you give it a good going over during trial period.

I would go with the one with a warrenty personally. If its for notes and stuff it really doesn't need to be all that fast. But super light is nice, My laptop is 5 pounds my next will be smaller im sure of that.
