I have to say, the Fujitsu t4220 looks quite promising although the short battery life is a bit of a turn off. Personally, I was thinking of the X61 and was about to purchase one until I found out about the optical drive, or lack of. And for an extra 370 dollars to add a base and DVD multilayer optical drive, it just does not seem worth it considering the fact that its an attachment for the laptop itself whereas the t4220 has a built in optical drive. I just wish we could have the best of both worlds- portability and battery life of a Lenovo while taking advantage of Fujitsu's quality and many features all bundled up in a sizeable package. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
