It’s not available in the US yet, but hopefully it won’t be long.

It’s got the same external DVD drive setup, but the battery life is spectacular (if it’s even 3/4 as good as the 10 hours they claim). It’s got a built in HDMI connector, bluetooth, built-in wi-fi, and a 128GB solid state “hard” drive. All that, and it weighs less than the Mac Air too.

I’m still not convinced of the benefit of making these laptops so slim – it’s much less of a pain in the butt to have the drive built in – I can deal with .25 inches if I don’t have to lug around additional accessories. But, would I take one – you bet I would.
