Perhaps the rumoured difficulties with the touchscreen have been a cause for delay? A comparison of the specs suggests that the Aspire 1420P, 1820PTZ and 1820PT are fundamentally the same machine with the following significant differences: 1420P: Celeron SU2300 processor 1820PTZ: Pentium SU4100 processor 1820PT: SU7300 Core 2 Duo processor All three models offer a choice of 1366 X 768 or 1024 X 600 screens (perhaps because 1366 pixels means that the typesize is on the small side for some readers of an 11.6" screen?). There are within-model differences of disk capacity, standard memory, etc. The interest of all these machines is that an 11.6" convertible tablet screen is a different compromise from the 10" offers from Lenovo, Viliv and Asus; faster processsors, wider screens and still-useful battery life mean that portable presentation, movie playback and even effective speech recognition can be combined. Bring it on, Asus (sometime before midsummer's day?).
