Ok....
I need to take this off sale
Went to look at a Samsung Series 9 and its a good first effort at a ultra-portable, but not as nice as the (third generation) Air. And it just didn't make convince me enough in the 5 mins i played with it.
oh my god, what am I saying?
Well, I have made my bed, need to lie in it for a bit i guess. I have several big presentations next week and the Air is already to go - a new PC would need about a half a day of config, plus I have to find / order one I like
My view is in the next 12 months, the 2nd gen Windows ultra-portables will be worth a look, then add in Windows 8 and they could overtake Apple
But for now, I will 'tolerate' OS X and maybe try and hack Win7 boot camp more to get the drivers sorted.
Cheers,
Tim
