  1. Sony TT user here. I'm a big proponent of pockets, and actually have modified several jackets to that my TT will fit in the interior breast pocket (right side). Notepad and pens goes in other breast pocket (left side), another pocket holds the AC adapters for both my phone and laptop (also right side), wallet in left pants pocket, phone in right, keys in front left jacket pocket. Right front jacket pocket reserved for misc. use. It sounds bulkier than it is.
  2. Thanks! I'll give it a week to think about, but the C300 looks like a solid choice. Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAA064MAG-1G1 1.8" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - Newegg.com
  3. Ouch, there's no newer 11-12" model out there somewhere? The Toshiba is half a pound heavier than the TT, in addition to its larger footprint. I could get used to extra weight, even at the cost of a thicker notebook, but the small footprint is what I like the most about my TT, as it's so easy to fit in small places. I imagine eyebrows are being raised right now, so allow me to explain my unique usage scenario. This is a device to carry around to trade shows, conventions, and so forth, and needs to be able to come out from time to time during the day to view the materials I'm given (which, sadly, frequently includes optical media). At home I use an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard with it. I've always been a 'one device' kinda guy. I've actually modified several jackets to have pockets large enough to fit my TT on the inside breast pocket, which helps me avoid carrying a briefcase around. I'm not a big guy, so adding an extra inch in each direction on the footprint would push that approach into being unfeasible, unfortunately (I had tested similar sizes to the R830 when buying my TT). I could get a new SSD to keep my TT going, but I'm leery of continuing to rely on a 5 year old machine, even if I have taken great care of it. Edit: to be clear, the only performance requirement is 'not weaker than what I've got now.'
  4. The HDD in my TT just croaked. And while grabbing a new laptop is probably prudent, too, I wouldn't mind resurrecting my TT as a secondary machine. However, the hard drive doesn't appear to be a standard size, so I'm not sure what to buy to replace it. Ideally a 64-80 gig SSD exists in that form factor, too, though I'd settle for a HDD.
  5. Dinosaur here, hoping for some information on what small footprint lightweights are available without ditching the optical drive. I am forced to use optical media often enough on the go that an external one is out of the question. The only other requirement is that it must run full fledged Windows. For reference, I'm looking to move on from my Sony TT that has recently croaked.
