As a Thinkpad X40 user I love the lightness of it. Those of you saying loose some weight or whatever obviously don't run through airports very often. It's amazing what a few pounds, sometimes even a single pound will do for your back as you get a bit older and have more than just a laptop in a bag. Anything you can do to take some weight off it makes the neck, shoulders, and small of your back feel better. After dumping a T21 for X24 from IBM it was like a godsend. The sad part was it was about a 3 lb difference then. The X30/31 and now X40 are shaving oz off each time.
But that being said, Anyone remember teh Duo? That was the ultimate super portable. I loved the dock, I loved the machines size.
But I don't know if Apple would do that again. It wasn't the most popular laptop.
