Hey guys, I'm entering college as a freshmen and I'm in the market for an ultraportable laptop. The X61 has tons of horsepower, 2.2ghz/2gb of ram, 8 cell battery (buying a second) and a 10-12 hour hour battery life, best keyboard ever (etc.)--however, it lacks a widescreen display and the incomparable beauty of the vaio. The vaio is, what appears to be, an extraordinarily overpriced machine that is slow as hell. 1.2ghz? Are they kidding? Am I missing something about the performance of the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor U7600? Still, its just so damn gorgeous.
In light of that, what do you guys think? Is the processor, bundled with 2gb of ram, sufficient, or does the performance offerings of the X61 just make it a no-brainer?
