Hi all,

Posting on Sunday may not be the best way to get a lot of feedback, so I'm reposting today.

Any and all opinions will be vastly appreciated.

Thanks,

David

And have good battery life, be light, thin and capable of being dropped a few times without damage (). And be able to push a video projector. Not much, eh.

It has only been available for a few weeks, it got into a serious back-order condition at $2499 (a price that seems to have no competition, even from third-tier manufacturers), and so they dropped the price to $2099 ($200 a mfrs rebate).
