Keep the X60.
On all new laptops you will be forced to work in Win7. Believe me, it is pain in the ..... with SawStudio.
I demonstrated to my students SS as the most flexible and fast audio software, but they had many problems with the demo and Win7 - the audio buffers, the graphics, so they went to another programs - PT and Cubase.
And today is very hard to find a new laptop with drivers for XP.
Maybe.
In my case I had a lot of problems, finally switched back to XP.
And, if I have to explain to the students about the tweaks and XP compatibility mode , the answer will be: XP compati.... WHAT??....
People like to do simple things with the computer. If the system is just working, without asking me for many things, I'm happy. This is the reason people are buying macs.

You're probably correct.
This, however, is not a touchpad.
Still a PITA.
I'm having no trouble running SAC as a front side mixer with SAW hooked to it, recording up to 16 tracks at once with 2x64 buffer settings through an RME Multiface (or digiface). So, it'd be really great to be able to also edit and mix in SAW on this little laptop when the situation calls for it. (Well, maybe not with NO trouble, but pretty close!)
