    I'd definitely like to check one of these out...

    It's kind of funny, the last two laptops that really peaked my interest are not available here. (Acer 3820TG and this one.)

    Acer 3820TG is a real piece of junk, my friend got one in China and it started to fall apart after 2 weeks of purchase and have been back to repair depot more than 10 times since the purchase with various hardware problems. In the end he returned it and got a second hand X301.

    Dagnabbit. Lenovo finally makes the machine I've wanted, and then won't sell it in the US. The 13 is the form factor I originally wanted, but the existing Edge 13 is pretty weak and so I was looking at the 14 (better battery life, CPU, etc) .. but then they offer this 11 with pretty much the sweetspot of features I want. Now if only I can find a way to get one.. :p

    Thinkpad Edge 11 looks quite charming with its diminutive size.

    He got a broken one for around 600 AUD, and it had warranty on it (i checked for him), and it got fixed under warranty (it did take couple of months for the parts to arrive). But 600 dollars for a fully working and near new example of X301 is what i call a dream.

    I guess i should of kept that X301 for myself, since i found it and arranged for the warranty repair.

    Who knows, maybe there will be an X100e with an Intel processor soon and that's why they're not releasing the Edge 11 in the U.S. Doubt it, but wishful thinking. Definitely more interesting than the X100e and only the second 11" laptop I know of with a pointing stick.

    I believe so, however, the X100e is available with a matte 1366x768 screen.

    the 15 inch one I looked at is all matte plastic and screen

    If it didnt have that terrible keyboard flex under the enter key,it wouldnt be too bad of a laptop to rival the walmart branded HP crap
