Serious battery life: LED/LCD display, SSD, Miserly proc with aggressive power control (If you say Atom.. fine), I'll trade off lightweight for heavy battery life anytime. My cell is under a pound, but I wouldn't do any mapping or look at pictures with it. Medium-low drive capacity: (20 G is fine with XP, 16G for Linux) For downloading your camera a few times and transferring to a home desktop. I want this to be not unlike recon for my desktop mothership. In a nutshell, everything I want to do is on my Portable Apps drive (2G) and my U3 drive (4G) [exception: mapping/GPS software]. The flash drives don't have a touchpad, display, keyboard, webcam, bluetooth, WAN, WiMax, LAN, audio, etc... so just give me the hardware, connectivity, a naked operating system, and some space for my GPS software and a few camera memory downloads. Tah-dahhh. Oh... and make one USB port not stick out the side. It would be nice if there was a USB flash drive "pocket" that allows you to leave it plugged in and protect it under the display when closed.

I can understand why no SSD alot less expensive, leaves room for expansion, if someone wants SSD so bad they'll pay for it anyways. I just hope I can get a linux version with a 6-cell battery. ill prolly put xubuntu on it. the larger hd is nice cause you could dual boot. and if the life is only shortened by one hr. thats not bad if ur already getting 6 out of it (comparing it to a SSD). am i understanding correctly that it will be available june 3rd in the US? or is that Europe. this looks perfect.

I'm used to apple laptops. Going back to the old trackpads is impossible. No multitouch is the biggest mistake they made in my opinion. You can buy an SSD drive later to install for cheaper.
