The Sony Vaio TR2 comes close, but without the reliability and
durability. Many have noted that Sony is not very reliable. Weird
software issues, lack of tech support and a significant percentage stop
working after 12-36 months. Otherwise, very cool machines.
The X40 with an ultrabase might work, if you can live with a 1.8" HDD and a
bit more weight. I'm waiting until it's launched to make any upgrade decision.
