Ja, inbesondere das Toshiba ist echt schick! Das Thinkpad auch, aber mehr funktional gestaltet. Dank ULV-Prozessoren sind beide wirklich leise!

I agree with the targeting for both models. Thinkpad x-200 is what I consider to buy to replace my Dell Latitude. But for travel needs, large HDD (and card readers/firewire/ whatever ports are more important.

Well, the Thinkpad is terrific! Our son demands high standards for his notebook, he searched and compared for a long time, and finally he ordered the X200s. A general problem of notebooks smaller than the 15" class is the heat sink which often results in a noisy cooling system. ULV processors with low TDP can reduce the temperatures and make the device silent.
