altho, im a thinkfan (lets start this term), there’s this feature where u actually double click on the trackpoint itself to do other things which i have not really used to full effect.

but the basics like, having the middle key and using your trackpoint to traverse vertical or horizontal, assuming a web browser in a page with very large data entry.

on the subject of weight versus battery life time, i speak for myself in that, if i do purchase a thinkpad, any thinkpad, i would definitely opt to purchase a secondary battery, which normally adds a not too heavy weight on the laptop overall but can assist with using the laptop for 5-6 hours non-stop.

good review!

Always difficult to find optimal price/ portability point, which netbooks do so well. Wonder if netbooks will soon become the main laptop (rather than secondary one) for consumers, especially since most of us don’t have advanced computing needs.
