I'm the proud owner of an IBM Thinkpad X40.
To put it bluntly, the exact same functionality (and linux compatibility - go via!) could be produced with one CPU (ULV Via C7) and a single-IC chipset. As a result, it would be much cheaper (far less parts - and they're cheaper, too!) and use less power.
So why can't we get C7-based laptops?
