Thought this was rather amusing:

It's not too surprising that Apple is crazy about pentium M and Yonah.

Amusing? Perhaps the stupidity of the author might be considered amusing by some

Tablets do not compete with full featured machines like iBook or PowerBook. And complaining about the screen resolution is also silly - did he really expect more than 1024x768 on a 12" display?

The comparison is Apples (no pun intended) to Oranges.

Yes.

That's the only problem I see with the X series - the screens are only available in XGA (well, I'm not counting the SVGA screens available on the X2s...) No SXGA+. Otherwise, they're PERFECT.

By "amusing" I meant silly. Strange comparison to be sure.

Pretty silly to say "OH THIS 12.1 INCH SCREEN CANT DO ULTRA HIGH RES IN MEGA GAMING MODE" Especially for a portable laptop...

Well, I wouldn't game much on any computer, and what I would play, crappy integrated graphics could only run it at 1024x768

That said, if I had the choice between an X41 and a Toshiba with an SXGA+ 12.1" screen, I'd take the X41. (Of course, as for the Tablet, I'd have to debate some more - it's looking like the X41 tablet won't work on the UltraBase, after all... and I don't want the X4 Dock...)
