i personally am partial to thinkpads. I used my trusty 600e for years
and it is still chugging along, be it slowly by today's standard.

in going to 600x, a brighter screen , ur trade off would be on operating
battery life. As i understand it, the stock 650mhz 600x had been known
to have heating issues as well. you may want to upgrade the mmc2 cpu to
the newer and cooler 700,750,800 etc; abeit not really user
installable, you may need professional installation.
