I ended up buying an X201s and have been delighted with it. Very fast, great video quality, awesome features--but it cost much more than the X100e.
I ordered my X100e with 4 GB of RAM, so Excel and Word start up within 3 seconds. Outlook takes about 12-15, but I think that's from loading up all the email addresses along with Norton. I don't watch videos on laptops, so I can't comment on that aspect.

With the upgraded RAM and a 2 year onsite warranty I paid around $750 using an online coupon I found.
