CNET Review
The Good: Extremely portable design; excellent keyboard; fingerprint reader; integrated WWAN radio; great performance; incredibly long battery life when configured with high-capacity battery.
The Bad: More expensive than comparable models; lacks built-in optical drive; lacks built-in support for ExpressCards.
The Bottom Line: The first ultraportable to accommodate Intel's Core Duo processor, the ThinkPad X60s combines blazing performance and incredible battery life with a full feature set and a compact case. We like it.

Review Summary: Instead of a touchpad you'll find a pointing stick and small buttons. The pointing stick is accurate, but it can take a little time to grow accustomed to it. If this is the case, you can always add an external mouse
