Clincher for me is that the atom is at best 20-30% faster than a 5yr old Pentium-M 900 (check geekbench) which is a step backwards considering how resource intensive some sites and flash applications are these days. It's a real pity that true ultra portables are still in the £1500 price bracket (Sony TZ) but if you can jump up to 1.6kg and a larger screen then maybe the BG45 is an option ? It's got CPU grunt at the expense of battery life and only costs £370. Great machine, great battery life at the following expense…
