>Basically, it will be an SE/30 (oops, SEx) in a 17 pound laptop format

17 pounds??? An SE/30 weighs only 19.5! You could do almost as well by
just adding an LCD display to a IIcx (14lbs).

One of the biggest PC laptops, the Compaq 286SLT, has a 40 meg drive,
3.5 floppy, _detachable_ keyboard, internal modem slot, 640x480 8 grey-
level display, AND 3-5 hour battery for 14 pounds and $5900.  It also
has connectors for external drives, monitor, and an AT bus expansion
base, making it practical as one's only computer.  An especially neat
feature is a single "standby" button that stretches battery power from
hours to days.

I can understand why the Apple costs more, but not why it weighs more.
Will the Apple have battery power, modem slot, detachable keyboard,
connection for (same or other resolution) external monitor, and 
Nubus expansion box? 

Apple has always prided itself on using the latest (almost) technology.
(It's a good thing, too, since there is no Mac clone competition). Let
us hope that Apple can with their _future_ laptop at least match 
_current_ PC technology!
