    Considering getting the T60 with draft n. Ive heard draft n works optimally with associated routers. So maybe it just going to bloat my system to have the n config. Could also be a few grams heavier....what do yall think?

    the 'n' config doesn't "bloat" your system, at least going on the logic that it is hardware, and while there is software involved, I dont believe that it has even a marginal impact on your computer's performance. I have heard equal amounts of bad and good things about n, but for the time I stick with A actually. While it has a shorter range than G, it has much less interference, at least at the University that I attend, since most laptops don't have A cards ;).... (less traffic)
