what's in the future for x41s?

[mattbiernat]

so what's the future going to hold for x41s? the be more specific, is there going to be an ssd expandability option? i mean true ssd and not CF cards. or is x41 a dead end in terms of storage expansion?

Hi Matt,

As others have said, CF looks like the best option for the X40/41.
Am assuming if anything better comes along, someone will post about it.

Pretec has a rugged, 32gb 333x CF card for $630.
Item# CFS332G

There is a 233X 64GB also, $400.

They have a 50gb 333X, and a 100GB 233X coming out later this year.

I could work with 32GB, but would prefer the 50GB.
When they come down in price.
Till then, I slog along at 4200RPM...

Good health, Weogo

By the time SSDs become affordable, X60 machines will become even more affordable, so the future of X40/41 is quite dim IMHO...which is a shame because they are light and quite pretty...

yeah but for raw power i got my T60. i want something to show off and x41t seems like one of the most beautiful thinkpads (at least to me).
