<p>This Christmas my trusty old laptop died. It died quietly and
suddenly in bed. With a quiet whimper, it went completely quiet and
<li>Lightweight (around 1 kg) and small volume (preferably smaller
than A4).</li>
+<li>Robust, it will be in my backpack every day.</li>
<li>Three button mouse and a mouse pin instead of touch pad.</li>
<li>Long battery life time. Preferable a week.</li>
<li>Internal WIFI network card.</li>
<p>You will notice that there are no RAM and CPU requirements in the
list. The reason is simply that the specifications on laptops the
last 10-15 years have been sufficient for my needs, and I have to look
-at other features to choose my laptop.</p>
+at other features to choose my laptop. But are there still made as
+robust laptops as my X41? The Thinkpad X60/X61 proved to be less
+robust, and Thinkpads seem to be heading in the wrong direction since
+Lenovo took over. But I've been told that X220 and X1 Carbon might
+still be useful.</p>
<p>Perhaps I should rethink my needs, and look for a pad with an
-external keyboard?
