Category Breakers
Great and fun chart ;)
By the way, how would you call a PC with a 13" screen, a 128GB SSD, an optical drive, Vista Pro OS (and soon Windows 7), weighting less than 3 pounds and with the best keyboard in the industry?
A Thinkpad x301!
It's ultrathin, ultraportable and definitely not a plain old laptop ;)
Granted, it costs a "little more" than $500, but it you are a true "road warrior", that's might be the best choice today.
But if you or any of your readers have a better suggestion in that - let's call it "I've got to have one" - laptop category, I am all ears.
