A 17-pound laptop for $6500 is not a reality. It is another Apple Edsel. At 17 pounds, it is not even a laptop; it's half your baggage allotment to some places. At $6500, it's half the annual budget of some of the countries you'd take it to. (2.61538462E-3 ~= 17/6500 smiley.) OK, Sun, warm up yer soldering irons, Apple's letting you take another shot at them! If you can bring out a Sun laptop that weighs 8 pounds and costs $3500, you'll corner the market in iconic-interface laptop computers.
