I just received a 266MHz TP600 (2645-51U) today, and it looks much thicker than the 600E that I used to own, although I could be mistaken. If any of you have both models, would you check for me whether they really differ in size? Thanks in advance.

I have worked on and owned several 51U TP600s, and they are the same size as the 600Es that I have worked on.

As for all of them being the same size, I am not sure....there were a few models that had a 12" display, and it might be smaller that the 13.3" models.

If it's been awhile since last using a 600 series laptop, you probably just forgot what the actual thickness was. I know that after I used my 600E for a good while, my 760ED seemed alot thicker than did last time I looked at it.

If I'm not mistaken, the bottom chassis is the same for the 600 and 600E.

Hey guys, thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I guess the 600 that I received today looks a lot bigger than the 600E (which I sold half a year ago) because I have been using ultraportable notebooks exclusively during that half year, and so I am now accustomed to these much smaller machines. BTW, both models have the 13.3" display.

Well, if you no longer like the 600 series, you can always send to me.

Seriously though, it's amazing how fast you get used to a nice ultraportable and how long it takes to regain feel for a larger notebook.
