It appears the 11.6″ ultra portables are right inline with what I was wanting out of a laptop. A bit better than a mini but not a super beast like many laptops. I don’t really care to much about boot time as long as its not dragging ships when up and running. Good to know about user serviceable parts, I always just assumed the HD and RAM were always user serviceable? Is there a list out there comparing these mid sized laptops?
