@Phares, you forget that your comparison is based on high end machines. Not everyone is going to afford these machines but the IBM is a serious contender for people on the move. It also provides an optional WWAN EDVO/HSPA modules thus no need for external modems which is very important. Upto 15 hours battery life on a 9 cell battery while upto 23 hours with an external pack. The IBM also contains the 4G - WIMAX 6250 module providing for seamless Wimax in countries where available. The second generation core i7-2620 Intel processor has all the high end features including USB3.0 version. Weight is less than 1.3kgs. And the best part : Because of Windows, it will run 99% of any additional device straight out of the box. Simple, Reliable each time you need it to work. You can focus on other important things.

@Alvin, you need some technology classes... :-))
