    The SL definitely has the spill-resistant keyboard, but I believe that the quality isn't quite in the same league as the T or X series.

    The SL doesn't have the metal hinges and I don't think it uses the same metal chassis... You might want to check out the review of the SL400:

    So much for the sl300
    man ide love the x200 if it had a built in optical drive.
    the dell e4200 looks like it will be a winner.
    or the lenovo u330

    Have you seen the new Sony laptops? The SR might be up your alley...

    yeah i checked out the sr at the sony store a few days ago. the flimsy power adaprot port was a big turn off. other than that it was nice. I wish they would have had the z in stock so i could play with it.

    a 13 incher sounds great tilll i actually see their footprint. (yeah i know i stated the u330) i just confuzzle myself sometimes

    the dell e4200 looks like the best of all worlds. 12 incher, good proc and good battery life. with an optical drive

    No, the e4200 does not have an optical drive. You must be thinking of the e4300.
