Oh for the love of humanity! This was the tablet convertible I've been waiting on?

If you're going to make commercials sawing other laptops in half to say you're coming out with a revolutionary tablet, maybe you should take the time to consult an industrial designer. Hell, I'll settle for a fashion designer...

With all these companies teaming up with Prada or *insert high end fashion company here* come on Dell, even you by now must be getting the message. THE DESIGN MATTERS!!

Is it just me, or does this thing look about twice as thick as when as it was first previewed?

And monkey, is the thing going to be stuck with just the 1.2ghz ULV chips? I was hoping they'd have some 1.8ghz LV chips offered as well...

Yes, definitely. Particularly when the laptop in question is a BUSINESS model (you do realize that is what Latitude means?). This is clearly not modeled or marketed to you. ThinkPads with a very similar design scheme have sold for premiums as high or higher than Apple's for a long time, only instead of paying for the design what you were buying was reliability (something Apple cannot claim). More people than you probably understand would prefer to have a working laptop than a very pretty paperweight, but maybe I am making no sense to you.

PS: I'd lay 10:1 odds that you wrote that post on a mac. Am I right?
