That's not merely a pound, that's almost 2 1/2 pounds. Definitely not insignificant (at least ot me!). That's a *huge* difference. >life is not as good (about 3:12). I don't use cd-rom's that often, so a cd-rom >slot is of little interest. And it seems pricey - estimated street price is >$4,950. To me, it comes down to which features you want. Here's the 600's pluses over the 560x. Only you can decide whether they are more important to you: - Screen (XGA, 13.3") - Speed (but only 15%--I almost didn't even list it here because of that). - CD-ROM And the 560X beats it on: - Price - Battery Life - Weight (BIG Difference!) Depending on the premium you put on each of these, make your choice! ------- Randal J.
