As the October 22 release date for Windows 7 approaches I’ve been thinking more about what I’ll buy for a new Windows laptop. Like most people I’m not a big fan of Windows OS upgrades on top of an existing Windows version. This is doubly true for Windows 7 which we know is going to require a fresh installation versus having the ability to upgrade a prior version. One interesting laptop possibility is this Lenovo T400s brought to our attention by GearSponsor Logicbuy. The Lenovo ThinkPad T400s is a 14.1-inch LED backlight Laptop with Multi-touch screen and it’s available starting at $2,145 – $146 instant discount – 15% stackable coupon (expires 10/21) = $1,699.15 plus FREE shipping.

This Acer Aspire One with 11.6″ screen, 1GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 802.11G Wi-Fi and Windows XP Home SP3 is a relative bargain for $280 shipped from J&R. I use a slightly smaller version of this computer and while I wish the keyboard was backlit you can’t beat the small size for carrying this on a plane or throwing into a briefcase during daily travel. I’ve used my Netbook to connect into client sites via Remote Desktop without a hitch. What it lacks in processing horsepower it makes up for in far superior battery power and convenience.

Right before I finished up the HP Pavilion dv2 laptop review, I was sent a couple of boxes containing an HP Pavilion dv6z-1299lx and an HP Mini 110-1036NR. Even though I knew the purpose of the experiment which was about to happen, I couldn’t help but wonder why anyone in the world would need two laptops?

The answer to that question is actually quite simple…
