I have been using a 12" powerbook for 3 years now. I've been holding off buying a new computer in the hope that apple will launch a 'thin' of some description. Something I can use on the road that is light and with a good feature set. If apple don't release a 'thin' then I'm seriously going to look at purchasing an Asus eee which is an excellent ultra portable not only with a full feature set but with an attractive (non apple) price tag £200/$400!

A computer is a computer is a computer. Repeat until it sinks in.

I went down to 13.3" MacBook from 17" PowerPC and love it. Have 22" display on my desk: now the best of both worlds.

Ultra-slim/portable needs 13.3" with the SSD and external optical drive THEN I buy in a NY minute and take it everywhere and plug into any other display.

"………….. Ahh, there's one more thing!" I'm gonna love that on Jan 15.

lmao….steve 'blow' jobs is up to something….

again…providing technology that is already available at a price 400%-500% higher than available

as with their other entries into the pc market, this device will take at most a paldry single percentage of market share.

but hey, at least we got another choice of an over priced, under capable piece of technology to choose from.

i'm glad only the pc challenged by macs; it keeps the high tech stuff out of noobies hands where it does the most damage!

no SPANK you apple. i'll stick to my high powered computers that squash yours like, well…..apples!

USB flash drives are under $10/GB (e.g. 8GB flash drive for less than $80 at a warehouse club; on-line as low as $30), and that's all packaged up. Seems to me Apple could put in 32GB for about $250-300.

It could also be that Apple is getting lower prices on the Flash memory than other companies. That's probably the case with the memory used in their iPods, so it may be a similiar situation for this supposed Flash notebook.
