That is the price with Linux, it is a bit more with Windows. But the real issue is the battery life. One of the reviews says 4.5 hours max. That doesnt cut it for me for an ultralight. It is the main limit of my MacBook Air. I want at least 6 or 7 hours of real battery life, preferably more. I get about 8-10 hours on my Asus. That is enough for any flight I might take and enough for a day of meetings to carry it to.
