      If you're looking for graphics performance, I wouldn't bother asking about ultraportables with Intel IGPs.

      I bet $999 Adamos will have a hard time competing with $499 iPads.

      what is the battery life on this? I saw one in BB for $2000 and it says the battery life is 3 hours with the 3 (or 2) cells battery.

      OK so buy a 128GB SSD for $250, stick it in a $250 netbook and you're still at half this price. I don't see them getting away with 4X netbook pricing with only the flash of a metal chassis and some bleeding-edge components. I'm not so much an Apple person but they do have OS X to make more of a difference in their premium hardware.

      Also, non replaceable battery. This was just Michael Dell's pissing contest with Steve Jobs. Showing him they can make a unibody chassis and charge double what a normal computer costs, just like Apple does.

      Even Billionaires have competition.

      The exterior doesn't look so flashy to me much less the specs at this price.
