The s in X60s means "slim". This is achieved by the low-voltage CPU, which requires less cooling. Sellers claim an amazing 8 hour battery life.

A tiny "Radio Frequency Kill Switch" is rather hidden below the front edge of the keyboard, it stops Wireless, Bluetooth and GSM/UMTS.

 Batteries

The x60s uses lithium-ion batteries in various shapes and sizes.

It can use batteries which work with the x60, but these are approximately 3cm shorter, and leave a gap, which needs to be filled with a spacer, 92P1227/42W3050 (same part). The x61s is similar, but only some batteries are recommended.

Firstly, there are the prismatic batteries that fit flat with the bottom of the laptop - these give you a nice smooth back to the laptop and are slightly lighter in weight.

   * Battery 4-cell Li-Ion (Prismatic)
         o Sanyo 92P1163
         o LGC 42T5224 

The 4-cell cylindrical battery is slightly larger - it protrudes a little from the underside of the laptop - approximately 10mm, but is flush with the back.

   * Battery 4-cell Li-Ion (2.6AH cylindrical)
         o Sanyo 42T4505 93P5027 92P1167
         o Sony 93P5028 92P1169 

The 8 cell battery is similar to the 4 cell battery, but it has an extra 4 cells in a 'bar' that goes along the entire width of the laptop, making the laptop about 20mm deeper. It's of course heavier too.

   * Battery 8-cell Li-Ion (5.2AH cylindrical)
         o Sanyo 92P1171
         o Sony 92P1173 

A similar battery, that also works in the x61s as well as the x60.

   * Battery 8-cell Li-Ion (5.2AH cylindrical)
         o Sanyo 93P5029 42T4506
         o Sony 93P5030 

A large battery that covers the entire underside of the laptop - leaving space for normal batteries.

   * Extended battery Li-Ion (Sanyo)
         o 40Y7904
