I'm looking a new laptops and had really been thinking about the T40/41, but the new X40 looks awesome as I realized the only time I like the extra screen space is when I'm at home and can use an external monitor for this, should I want it). My only other real concern is not having the internal drive with me. Has anyone else run into this when you need it, but it's not with you and you dont carry it around with you? I have a 15" screen at 1024x768 and just dont like carrying around all the extra weight and size. I thought the 14.1" would be nice, but the 12.1" looks good. I just haven't used one so I dont have much to compare it to.
