    Basically longer battery life for the x61s since it uses a less voltage processor. Other than that there isn't much difference apart from the lighter screen (0.2lbs).

    Also worth noting, is that the x61x is NOT thinner than the x61 unless you use the 4-cell slim battery. There were a bunch of posts about this when the x61/s first came out, and several pictures and user comments showed that with the 8-cell they were the same thickness.

    lower voltage processor and a light screen = more portability....i personally wouldn't pay the extra $$ for the s though
