    Wow, no more Tablets on the US site! The outlet center is down to two, an X61T & X200T. I'm sure this is a temporary situation, like HD+ screens, but still... :mad:

    I can just imagine some product manager in China tearing his hair out while cursing the shortage of CPU's and screens. His product line is losing a LOT of revenue as customers pick other solutions that are available. Not many IT guys will respond to a request for a _____ notebook with, "If you can wait a month or so, I can get you a much better solution." It's much easier to fill the requisition with 2nd choice that's currently available. Those sales are lost out of the buying cycle for a few years.

    Very true... if an X201T w/ the outdoor screen was available, I would snap it right up. Instead, I'm considering either the HP 2740p or the Fujitsu T900...
