But they are seriously going after Apple's jugular...

The best part about it is that they are doing a better job (and at lower prices :wink: ) ... first the X300, now this - more competition is always good for the consumer.

I would wish that lenovo sticks with PC business only, due to low market share outside of Asia; they've already given up cellphone business recently.

By the way the device certainly looks great.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.
