Exactly right Linda!

People who don't travel all the time don't have any real idea about  
how much difference 1kg or 2lb make.

The difference in weight and thickness make it a perfect computer for  
the office traveller.

Hard disk size is the same as a MacBook. Memory is better than a  
MacBook. CPU power is near as dammit the same.

I will gladly pay the $550 to save my back and to make my life much  
easier over the next 2 years.

Let's see, thats like $5 extra a week over the next 2 years to make my  
life easier and protect my back.

That's well worth it to me.
