WSJ article X300 and Mac Air

Today's Euro WSJ has a Personal Technology article by Walter Mossberg on the X300 and he does a lot of comparisons to the Mac Air. Most of them have been discussed before here, but he is pretty thorough on the X300 options which of course are much more plentiful than the Mac Air. He generally prefers the X300, but also prefers the Mac OS over Windows.

One concern on the X300 for frequent flyers in economy is that the screen goes up higher than the Mac Air. Fortunately most of us either purchase or upgrade to business class, right?

He says at the end that if you are happy with Windows and can afford the X300, then go for it. It's a notable engineering accomplishment.

Supposedly the X300 goes on sale next week. I'll be waiting in line.
