    Hello everyone

    I am a college student and I been looking for a ultraportable laptop for school.
    I would like to ask some questions and for your opinions and feedback about these two laptops.

    1a) Is Acer TravelMate 3010/3012 equipped with glossy or matte screen?
    1b) If it comes with glossy screen, does it have an anti-reflective coating?
    2a) Is Lenovo X60/X60s eqipped with glossy or matte screen?
    2b) If it comes with glossy screen, does it have an anti-reflective coating?
    3) which screen size is better? (Levono is 1024 x 768 and Acer is 1280 x 800)
    4) Which one has better physcial built? (such as durability, etc)

    I look forward to read everyone's reply!

    1a) Matte screen
    2a) Matte screen (they have been traditionally)
    3) Acer will give you better screen size because it's wide screen form factor.
    4) IBM is definitely better in terms of durability, but Acer is not bad either.

    Comparing those two unit is quite challenging because both units are pretty nicely packed up within small form factor.
    If you wish to have longer battery with higher processor (1.87 Duo Core), go for X60/X60s. It won't have DVD-Burner or built in cam as Acer one, and have to spend $300 or so more.
    There are so many many configuration available for X60/x60s actually but below particular unit is what I'm referring to.

    If you want the nice screen with more accessories such as built in cam, go for acer. ThinkPad is just a bit lighter than Acer but weight is pretty much the same.
