WK,

Apple will never make a sub-compact laptops <3lbs... You're missing the point... You cant compare an Apple PB12inch which weighs 4.6lbs with some of the other subcompact wintel.

Apple Powerbook 12inch is the smallest all in one computer at 4.6lbs and includes:
(1) Built in Superdrive - CDR/DVD-R
(2) Wireless G
(3) decent audio
(4) Multiple ports - Firewire, Ethernet, USBs
(5) 1024x768 resolution

Try to get that in 4.6lb Wintel equivalent...

I guess there's a compromise between weigh and funcationality. PB12 is a nice compromise
