Upon further consideration I don't think it makes sense for me to get a discontinued X301 via the outlet. So now I'm leaning toward an X201. Unless somebody can recommend an altogether different brand? (I wish Lenovo still offered something like the X301; I like the bigger screen -- the X201 screen seems a bit so-so.)

My first choice:
   Intel Core i3-390M Processor (2.66GHz, 3MB L3, 1066MHz FSB)
   Intel Core i5-560M Processor (2.66GHz, 3MB L3, 1066MHz FSB)
   Intel Core i7-620M Processor (2.66GHz, 4MB L3, 1066MHz FSB

Since heat/fan noise is a particular concern, does anybody happen to know how these processors compare in that regard? Most of my computer time comes down to: Web, email/typing, video (watching, and a bit of encoding), processing photographs. I'd enjoy the luxury of a fast new laptop, but not if that makes it hot and noisy.

Any suggestions here? Thanks kindly for any advice! -Scott
