    It looks like it took a few design cues from the Fujitsu P7K. Not bad though.

    I believe the Dynabook SS is based off the Dynabook Libretto series. If you were to put the two together, they're almost identical except for the size and the SS has a touch pad instead of pointing stick. If it is built like the Libretto, it should be a very sturdy machine. Now if they would just refresh the Librettos and add a DVD drive.

    How does the Dynabook compare to the Portege R100?

    Will the Dynabook be available in the US?

    I've been waiting for updates to the R100, and I'm wondering if anyone knows when/if this may happen?

    Thanks
