Laptop

Agonizing choice: which laptop to pick?

What I want:

Intel Core Duo processor (>2GHz)
2GB RAM
100GB HD
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, EVDO
Decent video card, but nothing fancy
DVD Recordable
No Windows Vista capable
Nice screen (not shiny!)
Lightweight

What's definitely out of the picture: any HP, Compaq (hate!), or Sony (loath with passion)
What's in: ThinkPad or Dell

Leaning towards ThinkPad T60 (not that light but has everything I want and might even be under $2000 after corporate discounts). Or X60 (light, wrong processor and memory but light and small and cute. Damn expensive too). Maybe I should get both? One for travel, one for the office. Hmmm, two ThinkPads and two Dells? Антигубораскатин?

Techy stuff

I have a ton of work to do and a million papers to read (and memorize), so I ... hacked my phone. Have been meaning to do that since I got this POS phone in July. Well, I obviously didn't get any work done but I can finally use USB to charge the phone (yeay, one fewer charger to drag around) and to upload/download stuff to it. The phone is still crap, though.

( And while I am on a tech kick, here is a short list of some nifty gadgets I am itching to play with. )

Anybody ran into any cool and exciting new technology lately?
