Hi everyone

I am desesperately looking for a laptop
im looking one to replace my asus z70va (3 years old)

and Thus far i have been considering either the T61 or XPS 1330

the main features that I am looking in a laptop is reliability, battery life, durability, basically a laptop that can last long

other opinions about other topics are welcomed

I need to make a decission ASAP

Thanks everyone

2 different animals friend. 1 is 15.4 and the other is 13.3 (screensize wise I mean).
what is the priority? Screen real estate or overall weight?
That should answer your question, they are both equally good and they both come with very decent @home warranties so you don't need to mail them in if they need servicing.

Depends on what you want to do with it as they're both very comparable. I like the 1330 if you want battery life and much better entertainment possibilities. The T61 is better for business-related so it's a bit more durable. Both are very reliable.

Hi, don't know if you've made your decision, but if not here's a review of the T61 which may be of use: http://www.itreviews.co.uk/hardware/h1543.htm

The T61 has good reliability and build quality, but as another poster pointed out, if battery life is a priority, this isn't as good. Depends on which matters most.

I did have T61. Being a thinkpad, you feel like you actually own a beautiful piece of a laptop.
As far as battery, you will never be satisfied as the average will be around 3 hours.
We all want the battery to last 12 hours, right?
My personal experience of Thinkpad, it is really well-built.

I don't have a 1330, so I can't say a thing about it.
I do have a Dell Latitude D630, a business laptop.
That is a very nice laptop. Not sure about 1330.

Thanks
