Methinks they'll have to price match the competition.

In Turkiye, they are still selling them without SSD's, or else with SSDs they are too expensive... When SSD will be a standard, then for sure I'll buy one. Long battery life, thin and comfortable usage  and with SSD, you'll feel like you are on the magic carpet, flying!

Like I say for ages, more important than the CPU speed is the amount of memory and the HD speed.
Do a full memory upgrade on the memory and install an SSD on your laptop and you'll have a flying machine

Go to your local rug merchant if you want a flying carpet.

I just love it...
For me is the best Ultrabook around... Why? Read bellow.
Super light and thin
No further comments... it's just that...
Powerful
mine is a Core i5 but Core i7 config is available
Lets you expand the memory
I've reached the 6Gb maximum on mine but Core i7 confi can reach 8gb.
And you can do it yourself, plain easy.
SSD
Ok, it's only 120Gb but is super fast and all my projects fit in there.
I also use dropbox a lot and I don't need to have it all on the HD.
Anyway the SSD is not on-board so you may be able to swap it with a bigger one whenever is available.
Full sized ports
This is very important to me as I usually connect to internet on customers and office through RJ45 cable and also like to use a 2nd monitor whenever is possible. With this computer I don't need to carry around a bunch of mini ports adapters.
My environment and usage?
I'm a .net developer, I usually have more that one instance of VS 2010 opened, plus Management Studio (with an instance of SQL Server and several DBs attached), multiple browsers, sometimes also Eclipse and SOAPUI, MS Outlook... and everything works freeking fast 
Cheers!

Amen brother. I have the 835 but have been eying the 935. However, I'm waiting to see what Toshiba brings out with the 3rd gen series.
The full-sized ports are insanely valuable for me. I'm constantly plugging in a VGA port for meetings, or grabbing a cat5 to hook in to save wifi drain and hassles with wifi passwords. And they are still lighter than the Macbook Air, and about $400 cheaper.
(Though if anyone wants to throw an Air my way I won't throw it back...)

... I am working again I'll be buying one, not sure which yet. I like the performance you get from such a light box.

Why?
Does it include a set of Bacon in the box?
I can see it is more lightweight, but nothing else in terms of power specs.
I understand CListCtrl will also work on them, but...
[edit]I've been the first one today![/edit]

They include a Bacon sensor and are fully compatible with all pork products out of the box.
