    *sigh* not yet :p
    I've had a lot of problems finding appropriate places to buy, but, I can get a decent deal. And I've limited it to two models (the only available ones within my price range, and specs), the 23738XU, and the 2373JXU.

    I can't seem to decide which one to buy, prices aside. From IBM canada's EEP (my cousin works for IBM, and has been kind enough to give me a family one), the 8XU will be 4-6 weeks delivery while the JXU will be current week delivery. They both look very similar prices aside. And the JXU has a 15" screen. Because I'm not too sure on all of the technobarble, which has the better insides?

    Thanks :)

    EDIT: The JXU is only $40 more, so I'm wondering if it's lacking anything spec wise.

    Can anyone comment on the portability of the 15"?

    Hi Vasant,
    I saw you post over in the thinkpads forum 1st and posted my comments there.
