Specifications
Are we talking about the same thing here? The article says "weighs 1.33kg", but the technical specs which the article linked to gives the weight as 1.05kg.
This is an important difference - similar to the difference between a 12" Macbook and a 13" Macbook Pro.
This would be a nice machine if it runs Linux, although if it's only sold with 8GB RAM (and is not upgradeable) that rules it out for me.
