    Perhaps X32 with the Extended Life Battery. Should be cheaper than the X40/X41 and a bit better performing too.

    x41 with the eight cell battery should work well. Performance as noted will not be as good as the x32.

    I was thinking I might be able to get away with a X30/31? Any big issues with these? JL

    There is no touchpad. That bothers some. Other than that they are great machines.

    I like the X31 better then X30 because of the pentium M processor over the P3. I just bought a refurbished X31 and the prices were much less then a comparable X32. I hate the touchpad so it was not an issue for me. I liked the specs and price of the X31/X32 much better then the X41.
