Half price of a Macbook Air 11.6". And it packs more storage (5 times as much as you can get in the Air), an equivalent CPU (from CPubBenchmark.net), same resolution on the screen.

And you get it with 4 GB RAM to start, customer upgradeable to 8 GB if you desire. And 3 USB ports, an SD card reader, and a real Ethernet jack, highly desirable for anyone who travels in Asia as most hotels here still do NOT have WiFi available in their rooms.

Yes, it's 12 ounces heavier, so I guess you save $500 for 12 ounces, or about $670 per pound. That's a pretty hefty premium in pricing! Even heftier if you consider the HP dm1z - about the same laptop, but for $100 less...
