    Guys,

    I want something that I don't need to baby.

    I own a X60s and I think it's not tough enough for me to toss around.

    Which one do you think has better build quality? T60 or T61 or X60s?

    I have no luck finding a T60 or T61 in the local stores...

    Thanks.

    i have a T61 and think the build quality is EXCELLENT. Far superior to any laptop out there on the market just shy of the panasonic toughbook.

    One small gripe that i have is that the left side of the wrist rest has a little give to it, but its nothing too crazy.

    You can find 15.4 inch T60/61's at circuit city.

    My T61 is a baller. Except I'm not so thrilled about the screen. Eh..

    I checked circuitcity in my area. They don't have any on the shelf.

    One thing bothers me on my X60s is that the trackpoint and mouse buttons tend to leave marks on the LCD. I bought a piece of microfiber for it, but this is annoying...

    does it make sense for me to sell the X60s and get a T60 on ebay?

    is the difference in size/weight huge?
