Hey all!!

I saw this in an issue of Macworld and thought I would check it out. Looks pretty solid.

I was just wondering what you guys thought of it...

I'm looking for opinions right now... But in the future, this might be my new laptop...

I wonder when ol Steve will put something out like this...

Later guys!!!

Funny, because they beat Apple to tablet design computer (that's if apple intends on coming out with a tablet computer).

Interesting that the memory upgrade from 2GB to 4GB is a $130 option, and a $400 option at the apple store. It's pretty cool that they offer a 7200rpm drive as well...

Oh yeah!!! I thought the prices were pretty good on the memory and hard drive options... They are about even with Newegg (thats where I got my memory and HDD upgrade for my iMac).

I'm really considering this thing... You know how it is, you see something you like and you're like, I can wait. then the more you look at it and stare, you start thinking of way to skimp in other areas so that you can get the item... I'm in that stage right now... I'm sure by the end of month I'll be hoding the credit card at the checkout page trying to think of a reason not to do it... I am sure we have all been there before!!!

Search in the proper forum, the Apple Notebook/Portables forum. This is for desktops.

This "tablet" design has been out almost since the MacBooks were released.
