Could be. Thanks for the info. Probably not worth pursuing then... I really want something thinner/lighter anyway.
But there are very few 13/14" laptops w/ 1600x900 panels. When I was in BestBuy the other day and saw the Lenovo p400 I was surprised and intrigued. It is 1600x900 14", quite thin, backlit keyboard, i7 priced at $800. Then two problems: really heavy for its size (5.3#), and the keyboard seems like it is mounted to a trampoline (and you thought the ProBook keyboard had flex!)
I'm still going to take a look at the Yoga. I could play with it to decide for 90 days (Costco return policy). It has a nice display, has touch (that might be fun to make work on OS X), has a pretty slick hinge, and is fairly light.
BTW, sorry for hijacking your thread... I'll go away and think about it for a while...

Yes, I'm afraid you might run into the same problem liposuction had with his 4430S
