Response to: The market may not be large enough

Good points -- I have no idea what the market size is. However, since multiple companies ship ultra-small Windows laptops, it makes me think that it's a market worth addressing. Plus, IBM's latest tinybook, the X40, weighs even less - 2.7 lbs. So someone there thinks that small is attractive. Of course, they could be wrong and only sell a handful of X40s.


Your tray table comment makes me realize all the tray tables that I've put my X31 on and never given a second thought to the fact that it fit nicely (with room for my tomato juice on the side.) I suppose that's an element of good design -- you don't notice it when it just works. (Or maybe it's a sign of an inattentive user!)
