But why HP? New MacBook will treat you right.. or if you really against Mac (which you shouldn't' be cause the new ones you can boot camp OSX or Windows), Then get a lightweight Sony. They make tons of em. Unless HP Compaq has cleaned up their act, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!
Uhmm.....and I wouldn't recommend anyone seeking computer advice from you since you don't seem to understand the purpose of this laptop.
Ultra portable Vaios are sexy but cost at least tree times as much as this HP laptop. The Macbook is pretty light weight but still not as small and light as this HP, and further more cost a lot more.
IMO this is an excellent laptop from HP. Light, small and cheap. No optical drive? Not a problem, the laptop is configured by a computer geek over the company's network. Perfect for business executives to use on trips for reading PDF files, fiddling with spread sheets and surf on the internet with. This laptop do have WiFi, right?

Engadget read it wrong. There is an integrated optical drive, this is just an OPTION not to have it.
