Is there any reason to buy X60 over X60s?

[akhran]

From what I have read so far, especially on the differences between the two models, why would anyone buy X60 over X60s especially since the CPU speed difference is unlikely to make any real difference in real world application.

Price?

Weight? The X60s is a bit lighter (if you go by the tabook.pdf).

Power consumption? I.e., the L2400 Core Duo is classified as low voltage. The T2400 Core Duo (which is the one installed in regular X60) is not.

A plus for the X60: you can get the 1.88 Ghz Core Duo--however, I don't know if you would be able to tell the difference between the 1.66 GHz low voltage CPU of the X60s.

Well, the X60s with a 8cells battery is about the weight of an X60 with standrad 4cells battery.

If weight and battery life are both very important, I'd go for an X60s
