OK, been looking at a fiew day in-store.

SONY TZ31 is OFF the list due to keyboard wobbling/flex. Nasty and cheap feel. Poor show for a premium product. Nothing like the quality that went into the Magnesium alloy case of the Z600 series.

Acer Aspire One D is OFF the list due to very glossy reflective screen, and very poor (sticky) touchpad.

The MacBook Air is OFF the list due to the very glossy reflective screen. Idiots. With a matte screen it could be a winner. It needs a thinner bezel too. No need for that flying saucer look. Make it a bit smaller.

System Name:	ICE-QUAD // ICE-CRUNCH
Processor:	Q6600 // 2x Xeon 5472
Memory:	2GB DDR // 8GB FB-DIMM
Video Card:	HD3850-AGP // FireGL 3400
CRT/LCD Model:	2 x Samsung 204Ts = 3200x1200
Sound Card:	Audigy 2
Software:	Windows Server 2003 R2 as a Workstation
