So contrary to all evidence, you are saying there exists a premium market in the Microsoft clone world? Care to show us this new evidence of such a thing? DUH?
Does he have too? Considering MS still has something like 90% market share in desktop OS, I am confident some of that market share is in the premium market.
I hope the trackpad works well. The HP Envy had promise but when the reviewers stated you had to use an external mouse to get anything done it kind of ruins the concept of a $2000+ notebook.
To be honest the Folio probably should be compared against the 11 inch Macbook Air but even then the 11" Air outclasses the folio with its 1.6ghz i5 CPU or even...
It's not intended to appeal to Mac aficionados, but Windows users who want a lighter/thinner laptop. If I was in the market, for a Windows laptop, I'd go for a Dell XPS 14z. The major advantage of the MacBook Air, besides still being lighter and thinner, is the ability to dual-boot both MacOS X and Windows...

Nah, it's still a 13" notebook. As usual, Macs are setting the standard and everyone else is trying to cut corners to reduce price while adding some cheesy items that make a spec sheet look better.
If the Motorola Droid RAZR can advertise that it's only 7.1mm thin despite that only representing the thinnest part of a device that is overall much thicker than the iPhone 4/4S, why can't Apple advertise their MBAs are 3mm thin?
Nothing and I mean nothing comes close to being as good as the new Macbook Air.
Keep trying, f$%kin amateurs...
But MacRulez says that it's easy and he would have no problem creating a better ultralight computer than the MacBook Air for less money. Surely, our resident trolls wouldn't make something like that up, would they?
I'd love to see a detailed breakdown, even an infograph, of how these various ultra books stack up against each other and to the MBAs. Having separate articles doesn't really offer a good comparison for consumers.
Do you really need to? The fact that the Macbook Air cloners are scaling back production tells you all you need to know.

That means they aren't selling well, but I'd still like to see more side-by-side comparisons of the ultrabook category. Eventually this will be the normal notebook type to get. Even now the MBA reportedly accounts for more than a quarter of all Mac notebook sales.

Because thats as retarded as every article trying to connect any windows pc with 'taking on xxx apple pc"
It's a friggin business box, move on. Why not talk about HP updated Envy range, at least that's a little more applicable.
FAIL! my 4 year MBP 15" is just as thick, this doesn't compete against the Air at all. HP haven't got a clue no wonder their company is in trouble. Ultra thin my ar$*

This computer is a product of a company that doesn't know what it's doing anymore. Stay far away.
Yup. They "had" me at HP.

I'm sure this was uttered in the HP boardroom...
"We lose money on every one we sell, but we'll make it up on volume."
My father used to say this with heavy dose of sarcasm!
Best
Best only on its thickness and aspect, it looks to be competing more with the MacBook Pros, than the MacBook Airs.
That was my first thought too when I viewed the photo.

Where have you been since 1983?
