Heh.. Okay, so this morning, after many days of playing only with the new N210 netbook, I powered on the Dell X1 for a look.

WOW! That "tiny" 12" screen is MASSIVE!! smile
The old yet excellent keyboard feels even better, and the X1 seems a LOT lighter than the N210, even though the difference is barely half a pound.

Maybe I'll look into new batteries and a new backlight tube for the X1 again after all.. wow!

But I also need to think hard (again) about shoehorning a real SSD into it somehow. The internal drive bay only fits 1.8" IDE drives (not even ZIF).. tricky to find space for a PATA->SATA converter board..

Cheers
