One of the most important details to note about both the X61 and the X61s is that, unlike most ultraportables and an increasing number of Lenovo's notebooks, they have yet to move to a widescreen display. Both of these 12" notebooks have retained the standard-aspect display that has been around forever but has been dying out on both notebooks and on the desktop. This is not necessarily a bad thing and ultimately the choice will come down to user preference, but using the standard aspect ratio means a notebook that is taller when placed in a bag, not as visually appealing (if you look at your notebook as a piece of design), and not quite as easy to carry.

Two things the X61/X61s lack are an optical drive and an LED backlit display. While neither of these are things users would necessarily expect at this point, they are starting to pop up on some of the competitors' notebooks. This is especially true on notebooks that were competing directly with the X60s, like Fujitsu P7230 and those that will be competing with the X61s though Lenovo was pretty early to market with this Core 2 Duo ultraportable. As for the optical drive, it may not be something people expect with their sub-3 pound notebook, but companies like Sony, Fujitsu, and Panasonic have been able to do it. The importance of the optical drive is becoming less and less each day, but if you need one it is disappointing to have to carry an external unit or to move up to a larger notebook.
