I"ve been using the previous model of that system, the UltraBook 
(same as a Ultra 1/170E, with a 14.1" 1024x768 LCD and Creator3D, 128mb
 RAM, 12gig HD) - and its NICE.  *very* nice - in fact, I used it as
my only home system for about 3 weeks.  Definitely an adequate replacement
for a desktop SPARC if you're short on space, and one of the nicest
laptops i've ever used.  For people who need that kind of power, portable,
its well worth the price - and thats the market that Tadpole/RDI sells to.

I can only imagine how nice the IIi-based system is.

I'm gonna miss this UltraBook when I have to send it back in about a 
month. 8-(
