Since these two benchmarks tend to be more processor dependant than the two previous benchmarks, we see the IBM ThinkPad X31 ahead of the Dell Latitude X300. These benchmarks are more of what we may expect to see, based mostly on processor speed. The Pentium-Ms systems benchmark results fall in line with their respective processor speed (minus the Gigabyte NB-1401).

I currently have an x300. I travel a great deal and have had a problem with a spot appearing on the screen. I have already had the screen replaced once and soon to be again. My question is would the IBM x31 be more durable than the Dell 300? I have not been able to find a x31 to compare to.Shalmanese - Saturday, November 1, 2003 - link
When anyone says Centrino, the basically mean the Pentium-M. Its just that Centrino is the more recognisable brand name. Technically, half the machines out there aren't real Centrinos since they use a 3rd party 802.11a/b/g chip.And I wasn't saying that the R50p was comparable to the X300, I just wanted it on the waiting list for reviews. IBM haven't had a serious Desktop replacement machine since the A31p over a year ago. (The G series doesn't count due to its sucky onboard graphics). It should be interesting what it brings to the table.

"BTW, the T40 isn't all that much bigger than the X31.... I like mine :)"Um the T40 is quite a bit bigger than the X31, I had a T40 at work and have an X31 as my personal machine.
Isn't this X300 acutally made by samsung?

"Centrino technology continues to breathe a breath of fresh air into the market with a marriage of performance and portability."...omg stop this blue-eyed intelback-scratchin plz. we all know that the real innovation here is the banias only and that intel is using their marketing power and money 2 wipe out its mainboard competition once more. i shouldnt have 2 tell u that. centrino is a joke but it worxSouka - Friday, October 31, 2003 - link
R50p is a "monster" in size compared to these ultra-portables.... review, yes...comparable, no.anyways....yeah, the X31 rulz....more expensive, but going cheap on laptops is often not worth it. BTW, the T40 isn't all that much bigger than the X31.... I like mine :)

"The X31 rains supreme in the battery life department."...Anyway, the feature set looks a lot like the Sony ultra-portables, right down to the blocking of the VGA port when you stick the media bay on.
quick request: would it be possible for you to review the IBM R50p when it comes out? Exected release date is november some time. Thanks
