No SD slot. Very expensive. SSD drive is your only option. Low-voltage processors can bog down performance in Vista.
Expensive
Heavier than Macbook Air
Small trackpad
Little available hard disk space
SSD means only 64GB of drive space
No card slots
Pricey
Small touchpad
Needs bigger hard drive

Solid-state drive comes at a high premium
