there are still plenty of new, in-the-box x201s' on ebay. the thinkpad edge 13" is cheap ($) and has decent specs, but you get the annoying glossy screen and case. i'm typing this on a thinkpad x301. with the dvd drive swapped out for a 2nd battery, it's pretty nice. it's costly though, and i wouldn't really recommend buying it when there are other thinkpads available for 1/3 the price with much more than 1/3 the performance.
