For the life of me, I don't understand why Acela first has so many tables.
The tables are actually better to use for laptop computers (no bounciness from the seatback tray tables). My problem with the table seats is that I have long legs, and like to move my feet around instead of keeping them in one spot. But, that results in playing footsie with the person across from me which is not a good idea for strangers!
