    Very good specs, an incredible screen and maybe the lightest 15" notebook ever?

    Hmmm... What would that weight be in U.S. pounds?

    Speaking of the U.S., will it be available here?

    5.18 pounds, I'll add that.

    I believe the same display is used in MBP 15".

    I don't know if LG is being sold in US.

    Nice! Looks quite good!

    What about price and build quality?

    P.S. I would like to see apple's notebook designer saying "OK,what else can we axe?"

    1850 Euro in Germany with T9800. For comparison: The top model MBP 15" costs 2099,-.

    Build quality was rated excellent by NBJ.

    DVD drive! I am surprised they haven't axed it yet. Why not give a USB key with OS.

    This isnt that bad of an idea though. EVERYTHING is going digital now, take STEAM for example and even many programs now that you buy online they let you download is straight from the site. Even most movies are digital now :)
