Sure there are 13" laptops for less than a grand, but probably not ones that weigh 3lbs with a DVD writer, camera, WWAN, 802.11n, 6hr battery and WXGA.
My non-WWAN P8010 cost a lot less than this and is one pretty fantastic machine. Weighs less than an MBA, includes a built-in DL DVD-writer, up to 4GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, a 12" 1280x800 LED-backlit screen, and a bevy of quasi-ruggedized features (e.g., auto-park drive heads, anti-spill keyboard, etc.). The only thing it gives up a bit is on proc speed -- dual-core at 1.2Ghz -- but with 5+ hours of battery, I'm not complaining.

Holy crap. That's expensive.

My condolences for whoever buys this. 13" laptops are selling for under $1k. That makes this nearly 3 times the price!!
