Advantages: Quick, small, and light

Disadvantages: Battery life, not for gaming

The ibm thinkpad 600x is a truly great machine. Even in 2009, the thinkpad still preforms well with its maxium 512mb ram. I can internet browse, instant message, and listen to a cd all at the same time. The 500mhz processor keeps up with most applications. The build quality is great, and it feels like new even after 10 years. I also own a dell that is a few years newer, but it feels flimsy and cheap compared to this. The small size is good for slipping in a backpack, but the screen is still big enough that you never have to squint. Windows xp runs well on this machine. They go for fairly cheap on e-bay, so it's a great alternative to the many tiny notebooks that they are coming out with. They sell for around 150, which is less than half of what you might pay for one of those. Check it out, you'll be impressed.

Summary: The 600x still is a great value even today.
