Hi!

I am looking for a X60s with a 1.83GHz CPU and a second mini-PCIE socket for WWAN. I don't need a HD, RAM, Wifi-card, WWAN-card nor docking statation but it is ok if it's included. Can be in a used condition. Shipping to Europe/Austria.

Not sure how firm you are on the 's' model -- I have both the X60 and the X60s, and functionally they seem very similar to me, although you may have some need for the 's' model. If not, there is a nice X60 listed in the Marketplace for a really good price: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=100727

The X60s is somewhat lighter (IIRC ~100g) - therefor I prefer the 's' model. Thanks anyway.

Another thing you need to know is that there are two incarnations of the X60s: the regular version and the lighter, "UltraLight" version. If you care a lot about weight, make sure you get the latter.

Thanks for the hint.
Is it correct, that the LCD is the only difference between the normal and ultralight version?

No. Besides the difference in LCD, the display lid is thinner for UltraLight models.

@pianowizard: Thanks for making this clear.
@RealBlackStuff: Thanks for your offer.

I'm unfortunately still looking..

Please explain why you insist on the 1.83GHz CPU instead of the more common (and battery-friendly) 1.66GHz.
There's only 10% difference in speed (at least on papaer), which will hardly (if ever) be noticeable for daily tasks.

I already own a X60s with 1.86GHz CPU and want another one since I am really happy with it and don't want to invest anymore money into spare parts. I also got a SSD since two years and the bottleneck for me is definitely the CPU in some workloads, so I don't want a CPU with a lower clock rate - even if it's only about 10%. I don't think that this effects the runtime seriously because of the dynamic clock rate setting.
