    X60 is about 3.5lbs with 8 cell battery
    X60tablet is about 4.2lbs with 8 cell

    tablet is $300 more with the same ram and storage.
    besides tablet has touching screen, can wirte on it, and comes with extra N,
    A/B/G/N wi fi, what is the N for ? for Asia?

    I was wondering what else is separating these two machines?
    what amazing functions Tablet has?
    price is not very important to me, but I like the facts X60 weight less than tablet?
    help me to choose...

    1. N means N-wireless, the next generation of wireless.

    2. Amazing functions a tablet has? Well you can turn the screen in all sorts of directions and you can write on the screen. Thats it.

    My opinion is get the regular X60 which is a great laptop and don't fork out the extra $300 for a tablet.

    nothing can go wrong with the tablet because there's no cons that I know of when compare to the X60. Maybe the 300$..and the weight
    What do you use the notebook for? The more you prefer to use the pen/pencil the more you will go for the tablet.

    I personally don't need the tablet option much, but I still like the tablet more because of its function for personal use such as drawing and taking notes

    All I know is with my job awhile ago I got a tablet and I never once used the touch screen.

    Depends on your use. Think long and hard. Are you really going to be taking notes on it instead of typing?
