Its a great machine in a small package. I think I will get an Intel 300GB SSD for it when prices drop.

My T410s is definitely one of my favorites. Mine does not have the NVS 3100M, SSD, or Intel Wifi. It did come with the 1440x900 screen, which was my only requirement. I added a Corsair Force 3 SSD in the UltraBay and I use the internal 250GB 1.8" drive for storage.

Awesome! Im actually trying to find an ultra bay adapter for my T410s but was having trouble finding it on NewModeUS. Do you have a link to a good quality ODD HDD adapter?

It is the same one that is used for the T410. Before I got the adapter for my T410s, I used the one from my T410 and it is exactly the same size.

I have ordered one from each of these two ebay sellers:

http://stores.ebay.com/This-is-BIG-BIG-Store
http://stores.ebay.com/ny-compu-tek

They are both working great and were each around $10 with free shipping.
