    You're not being very specific. More details and we can help you.

    i believe i gave you the model no's to compare..and the specific question of heat/battery performance on each...but other than that a general overview between them would be helpful...

    thanks again...

    I went with the 610TX for these reasons.

    Only 2.76 lbs, Carbon Fiber
    Newer Intel 915GMS chipset
    Wider 11.1 display, true 16:9 ratio, 1366x768
    Bluetooth 2.0 + EDT
    512MB, Faster PC 3200 DDR2 memory 400MHz, 1.5GB Max
    Memory upgrading is cheap, 1GB DDR2 3200 module is only $98!
    upgraded keyboard
    WWAN, I'm going to use my T-Mobile SIM card. EDGE is here in Fort Collins, CO!
    60GB HDD
    Intel 900 Graphics with 128MB shared video
    smaller and lighter than T series
    4 to 7.5 hrs on standard batter
    Mem Stick and SD slot!
    Faster 802.11 g WIFI
    AV buttons - watch DVD's, listen to CD's without powering up windows!
    Dolby Headphones and Virtual Speaker technology
    CD burner/DVD ROM drive (610TX does not have the DVD burner so if you need one I would go with the 630, 650, 670, 690)

    I did look at the other models and for less than $1900 I got the 610TX which I think is a great deal. I'm going to upgrade the memory to 1.5GB for $98 (newegg). The older T series were very close or more $$ so I figured with all these upgrades why not!

    My TX ships out on Friday so I'll let you all know how it works out.
