I haven't seen Apple be out done in the design department, Lenovo +1 for now...

it's 45 NM, and 25 watt TDP. It's Montevina
I have Vista Home Premium 32 on bootcamp basically for office 2007(school/work). I hate Office for Mac. I also play a few games. Not much. Vista isn't that bad and I haven't had any problems at all with it. I don't use it that much, but when I do it does the job. Some people just hate everything MS. That's cool, but the truth is it isn't half bad.
yeah, i've used vista on two different computers, and my first one experienced bsods because of crappy nvidia drivers. my second one has not had one crash, everything's perfect on it. granted it is bloated, but that hasn't impacted my experience at all
My bad. Be nice if Intel could keep their nomenclatures straight. The T7300 and T7400 were 65nm Memrom parts.
Are you speaking from experience? Because my Vista computer has crashed ZERO times in the past year and half. And how is it bloated? It anything Leopard is bloated.
It's pretty fast, is compatible with all my software. I don't know what you're talking about sorry.
As with the Lenovo, I buy for durability, not design.
I like how people said Lenovo obviously copied the MacBook design (which they didn't), and yet this design looks like an ugly Thinkpad.
Unless you think the MacBook looks like a Thinkpad, it's one or the other, folks. It can't be both.
Anyway, not a horrible design, and it has decent specs. However, if someone is going to mention the MBA and the thickness of this machine, I'd say this machine wins. It's thinner than a MB and nearly as thin as an MBA. Furthermore, you can also make a comparison to the Lenovo Ideapad U110, which is 11", better than the MBA, and doesn't have an external disk drive either.
How about 0.2"?
Personally, I don't care how thin a machine is. The thickness of a machine has never hampered portability. The length and width of the laptop matters far more, while weight is the 2nd most important factor. With the weight of these laptops being low already, the weight of the machine is also not nearly as important as the length and width. Thickness of a laptop is a distant, distant 3rd in terms of importance.
Thin machines look better though.

Hard to say without you giving specific examples, but its only fair that you also take into consideration the price point.
I agree, but it really depends who you ask. Jobs repeatedly touted how the new iPod Nano is the thinnest EVER....actually only 0.02 thinner than the previous gen...oh boy.
It looks like a wannabe MacBook... except it was WAY off in looking near as good.
The keyboard does do a good job though of making it look even worse.
Of course, that's just my opinion though.
