Here's why. Huge problem is the keyboard is skewed to the left of the screen… too far left and that creates two problems that I ran into right away:
1) your left elbow is going to punch your seatmate in the plane constantly… the unit is so wide and your arm is so far to the left, that to type properly your left elbow is way outside of the left edge of the screen. The touchpad is even not centered in this already not centered keyboard… the touchpad is to the left and that causes the part of my palm under the thumb to touch the pad every now and then, moving my mouse all over the place.
2) with the keyboard skewed, you can't sit with your face mid screen since the rest of your body wants to be 4 inches to the left so that you are centered on the keyboard.

Major screwup in my opinion… they just were not thinking at all.

Screen is very bright and sharp… super wide.

Battery life seems to be pretty poor, but you can't help that… it's Intel's CPU sucking the power down. I also have the 7200rpm drive and 1.3GB of DDR.

The wireless on/off switch is a little cheesy.

The speakers are better than my old Dell Latitude that just got replaced by this unit.

All in all, I wish I had waited to see one at Fry's… I would have immediately noticed the keyboard problem. I have never seen anyone do this before, so I ASSUMED that ergonomics would be at least as good as a cheaper N series I bought for my wife earlier this year.

My recommendation: go to the store and try the keyboard… you might hate it, you might not notice it.

This looks good though!

When will companies stop doing this. Centrino is a standard. Pentium M is a processor!

Apart from that this thing looks like a beauty, just that bit too expensive for me!
