I like the fact that it has a built in optical drive, it does have that over the Macbook Air, it also have a user replaceable battery, and the ability to replace the optical drive with a second battery. However, it has a much slower processor, which kills it kind of, but for mobile/business apps it shouldn't be a problem.

I like it, the comparisons are the same as newtekie's, and I do like the idea of a second battery as well.

Very light and i hope durable, ideal for students, business people, guys on the move all the time.
