i have X40 (as i mentioned before in this thread).  it works
exceptionally well, among other things has working APM suspend/resume
and is really lightweight.  i only very occasionally need optical drive
and for that purpose i use external USB2 DVD burner.  IBM offers bigger
battery (doubled capacity) as an extra.  external display works, but not
both at once.
