IBM Thinkpad T40 vs T41

I've tried doing some searches around the differences around the IBM thinkpad T40 and T41. The only difference I have only found is that the T41 has some active hard drive system that parks the heads before it falls. Are there any other major differences?

Here is my dilemma. Here are my two choices. They are the exact same price. Only difference appears to be the hard drive size.

- IBM ThinkPad T41
- Pentium M 1.60GHz
- RAM 512 MB
- HD 60 GB
- CD-RW/DVD
- 14.1" 1400x1050 TFT
- 6 cell

- IBM ThinkPad T40 2373
- Pentium M 1.6 GHz
- RAM 512 MB
- HD 80 GB
- CD-RW / DVD
- 14.1" 1400x1050 TFT
- 6 cell


 
Be sure to check out the spindle speed of those hard drives. The 80GB is likely to be 4200 rpm and the 60GB is likely to be 7200 rpm (sorry if I off by a few rpm). Slower spindle speed wouldn't be worth an extra 20GB.

Also, I believe there are a couple other tweaks to the T41, but I forget what they are. They certainly aren't major.
