Hey, i actually found this:

https://www.directlenovo.com/public/...sh_cookie=true

That's a link for Students/ALUMNI for higher education. If you're an alum of one of their partnered schools, you're eligible for ed. discount.

I love the TrackPoint. I find the 'Soft Rim' cap much better than the default dome, since it has a concave surface. You can see the available caps here:

My X-Series Ultrabase has an optical drive, but I rarely use it (about once/year). Don't miss it at all.

Check out this re-seller for some pretty good prices:

I believe they sell items that were returned (new, unopened) to IBM's financing unit. I stopped by their offices here in NYC to pick up my purchase, and that's where it had come from.

Asus S6F

I am about to replace my Sony TR (same size as the TX series I think, with a 11" screen) with an Asus S6F. Yes, I do LOVE the leather (even the PINK one!)

From my research, it seems like the bad is the battery life. Does anyone have this lap top? I'd appreciate any comments and/or heads up on this little baby. Can I get different battery that would last longer?
