Cons
- too much variation in system specifications - will lead to a large system performance variation, consumer confusion / support issues
- ultraportable design - lightweight and small at the expense of power, not good as a desktop / work laptop replacement
- Lacks more conectivity, I would like to see a USB port removed for a Firewire or ESATA port.
