Comments on: Mini-Note Mini Post- Why I’m Sticking with The 2140 http://www.geardiary.com/2009/02/22/mini-note-mini-post-why-im-sticking-with-the-2140/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating.

They keyboard could be less chicklety, but I have always been impressed with the manufacturing in general, and definitely how it feels when you're carrying it or using it... Which leads me to my last point: TABLET! The mini-note will never be a tablet! The p1610, however, has all of the mininote's features with the exception of (easy) hackability. So, take that! :) Your Apple-convert friend, Jamie P.S. I still haven't opened the Air. I'm giving myself another day to think about it before I take the plunge. Gotta be sure when your'e talking about that much moola! Part 2:

It's true that I have essentially "switched" but I don't feel great about it! I miss the flexibility of other OSs but I can't deny that life is easier and way more fun in Appleland. Sigh... Gotta provide a counter-argument to some points about the p1610 though! First, the pointer stick thing is not as easy to use as a track pad but you're forgetting about the other method of navigating screen space: TOUCH. Hah! Is your 2140 a touchscreen device? I think not! Also, the heat factor: my p1610 has never been too hot to handle. The p1510 might have had that problem but I've never had a scorched lap or hand. Part 1:
