Conversely, the Kojinsha has a price range listed and yet I don't know why - none of its specs seem like they could imply multiple models. - Specify whether the hard drive is SSD or HDD. It can make a big difference in performance and price. - For each box that has a question mark, do the research and find out if it has it or not. If the unit has a price, then they've listed specs. If they are yet to decide on specs, then they won't have listed a price (if the price is an estimate, say so). - Don't expect me to convert kg and lb in my head - list the weights all in the same units, or both. You may also want to consider including 8.9" laptops in it - the Eee 900 is out, for example. Once you've done this, I'm sure a forum such as eeeuser.com would love to see the chart.
