Hey guys! I'm looking to buy a Tablet laptop and I'm not sure which to choose. So here are the top three contestants that I see so far and their pro/cons:


1. IBM X41

Pros:

* Lightest of the bunch. 4lbs is less than my current laptop!
* IBM quality build/materials and support. (BIG PRO)

Cons:

* Weaker stats than the rest (Released 1 year ago)
* No CD ROM drive (will need an external)


2. Fujitsu T4210

Pros:

* Same weight as my current laptop: 4.3 lbs
* Better stats (dual core, faster HD)
* Very long battery life

Cons:

* My current laptop is Fujitsu, its structurally weak

3. Toshiba M400

Pros:

* Similar stats as the Fujitsu
* Screen resolution upgradable to 1400x1050! (the others are 1024x768)

Cons:

* Heavy. About 5 lbs
* No idea about its structural integrity






Weight is a big concern as I bring my laptop in my backpack with me everywhere. And following close behind that, strength of build. The IBM would seem the natural choice, but the fact that it is a year old stat wise while costing the same, holds me back.

Anyone have any insight about these 3 laptops? What would you choose and why? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
