    Where's the "Collapses in hysterical laughter option" ?

      CD/DVD drive an optional extra, an external at that. Only one USB port. No Firewire or Gigabit ethernet - hell, no ethernet at all unless you use the solitary USB port with an RJ45 adaptor. In which case without a USB hub, you can't use the CD/DVD drive at the same time. Battery not user replaceable.

      Verdict: Executive toy.

      Mind you, I haven't seen one in the flesh yet...

        Solid state drive and no moving parts. That hasn't been done unless I've missed something somewhere.

                first impressions were that it looks cool, i like the idea of ultra ultra thin and even had me wondering if I can get away with a Mac on client networks..

                after reading it only has 1 USB and no ethernet cable socket im instantly put off, i have 3 USB right now, plus ethernet and that is just about right

                looks nice, but not practical is my verdict, overhyped

                  I'm sure somebody will find a use for it.

                  And I think you're missing the "Air" idea - you're supposed to buy one of these to go with it.

                      I am more inclined to buy an eeepc - I wouldn't care that much if the thing got bashed about in my bag etc.
