Not that far behind? A dual-core Cortex-A9 at 1.0 ghz is only 5000 MIPS. Even the dual-core Krait is only 10,000 at 1.5ghz. For perspective a Core i7 2600k is rated at over 128,000 MIPS. That is a huge gap since the CPU is still very much important.

And there is nothing that necessitated an ultrabook having a brushed-metal finish... other than copying Apple who did it first with the Air.

Yes, but those smilarities along with the brushed-metal look are hardly 'natural progressions'. It's an apeing of Apple and nothing more. ThIs idiot should just man up and admit they copied things.
