Those two characteristics are *very* important to a lot of people. Yes, the T series offers faster processors, larger screens (although the resolution is the same unless you get the highest-end T series), and a standard optical drive, but the X series offers everything a lot of people want/need in a laptop in a tiny, very portable package.Oh well, my friend is almost consider about T series, but he decide want buy X series. hm I think T series is better.

A laptop's only as good as how easily and how often you bring it with you. Assuming the keyboard is a comfortable size, small is *very* good for laptops, and for laptop stuff performance is sufficient with any of them.That's what I say that. Well X series is more less weight, better processor, not much high resolution. T series is more balance performance less 40GB hard disk than X series have it, it both have Window XP Pro, and 256MB memory, but he don't need enough memory like 512MB.

And he might not think he needs more memory than 256MB but he probably will, eventually. Once Windows starts swapping, with a slow laptop HD, you notice.
