It seems as though netbooks have taken over the small-and-light laptop market. It's really annoying because I can't get any work done on such an abysmally slow computer. What I need and want is a real laptop, not some slow piece of garbage that can barely pass as a toy. But I also need this thing to be fast, small, light, and have a long battery life.
The only laptop that I seem to be able to find is the Lenovo X series. The X201 seems to be the only <= 12 inch laptop with good specs for under $1000. Dell has an offering at almost $2k and the Sony Vaio Z is also super expensive.
Then there's the MacBook Air. Overpriced and underpowered. No thank you.
I'm not really sure where else to look. CES is around the corner, but I have a feeling there will be little to no interest in true ultraportables. Companies really want to shove this netbook garbage down our throats.
