    I don't believe you're going to get a real performance improvement like that.
    Better wait for Calpella notebooks coming in Jan.

    the improvement would be marginal and not worth the cost.

    A new machine can use a SSD to its full potential, which will give it an advantage, though the CPU performance won't be a huge leap.

    The largest benefit in upgrading to the T400s you configured is the SSD, which is much quicker than a HDD. I would have suggested that you install an SSD in your T61, but because of the T61's SATA speed cap, it may not be worth it.

    Bottom line: Stick with your current laptop (it's definitely not bad) and wait for newer, better models/technology to come.

    He already has a 128 SSD in his T61 so a T400s would definitely a bad investment. I would get a W510 in January if portability isn't much of a concern.
