Hi, newbie here..

Was contemplating a earlier macbook but too much of a risk in terms of support as I'm very much into SQL Server for running my website database..

Then it was T60 but untill recently, I saw the X60 which make sense as the 1.57KG provides me the type of mobility that does not compromise on the specs. I need some advice on these 2 latest models;

T60 (1951CE6) @ $5,638
- T5500 @ 1.66
- 512 + 512 RAM
- 80 SATA HDD
- DVD-R Multi Burner
- FingerPrint Reader & BlueTooth
- 14.1" @ 2.5KG
- XP Pro
- 3 Years Limited Warranty

X60 (1706BQ2) @ $6,688
- T5600 @ 1.83
- 512 + 512 RAM
- 80 SATA HDD
- External DVD Multi Burner
- FingerPrint Reader & BlueTooth
- 12.1" @ 1.57KG
- XP Pro
- 3 Years Limited Warranty

The only reason I'm more inclined to the X60 is the weight coz I really use it for presentation to clients very often but on the other hand, the 12.1" screen is a bit too small. Can anyone help me with the assessment on its value or worth on these 2?

Or should I get the R60 (9455A53) currently @ $3,388? Price is not a significant, I am just looking at its 'worth' and 'value for money' in terms of optimum performance. Thanx..

Thanx guys! I think it all boils down to the price I am willing to pay for mobility ofered in the X60. I travel very often, and I believe it really makes a difference. I will also consider the discounts that I can negotiate for both the T & X models before deciding.

Come to think of it, the R60 may not be a bad idea as I am mainy motivated by the huge price difference. I can rationalize and live with the specs but I need to get the XP pro copy in order to run SQL for business. And prolly with the savings, to get a macbook for my personal stuff. it still a cool thing to have esp with the new OS coming soon.

Thanx again..
