    Well, after looking over MANY ultra portable laptops, I've decided on getting an X301. I currently have a T61, but needed something smaller for traveling, and going back to college next spring. Here is how I configured it:
    43Y4166 SBB IC2DUO SU9400-1.4GHZ
    45M3090 VBB GENUWIN7PROFES.64
    45M3981 SBB GENUINEWINDOWS7PROFUSENGL
    43Y5787 SBB 13.3WXGA+TFTLEDBCK3X3ULTCN
    42X6308 VBB 3GBPC3-8500 1067MHZ2DIMM
    42X5686 SBB KYB US ENGLISH
    44C7572 SBB ULRNV(TRKPNTMLTTH TPD F.R
    44C1917 VBB INTEGRATED CAMERA
    43Y4175 SBB 64GB SS DRIVE
    43Y4172 SBB ULTRATHIN DVD BURNER
    42X6324 SBB INT.WIFILINK5100
    62P6054 VBB INTEGR.BLUETOOTH PAN
    42X5671 SBB INT WRLSSWIDE AREANTW UPGR
    42X5676 SBBTPADX300-3CELLLIPO BAT
    41W1787 SBB CPK NORTH AMERICA
    45M4121 SBB LANGUAGEPACKUSENGLISH
    All for about $1940 with CT sales tax.
    I mainly surf the internet, do some word processing, etc. but mainly I needed the smaller screen size to carry around on campus. I looked at the X200s as well, but it lacked the optical drive.
    Oh well, it's estimated ship date isn't until January 4, 2010 lol so looks like I have a LONG wait ;)

    Why did you order Win7 64 bit and 3gb, instead of 4gb?
