No thanks... my work laptop is < 6lbs and it's a PITA to carry everywhere...

Don't get my wrong... nice specs, but it's too heavy for my taste...

Does it come with spell check?

Looks sweet, but I'm with Dave... My Latitude d630 is about as big as I'm willing to carry around... Next time around, I may go for something smaller, as I seem to be less willing to tote it around lately.

Gotta be a mac for me :)

Nice machine.

I want them to put some of that horsepower in a mchine the size of the old lifebook 610. I still have it. Full featured notebook using a curuso processor. Internal network, cd/dvd, wifi. Its only probem is speed and memory. It weighs about 1.5 lbs but is only 1GHz. It will run for 7 hours on a single battery.

It will run for 7hours because it doesn't have any of that power.
