Seems pretty underwhelming for almost $1000 more than the 396.


Yes, and that makes this 396 owner feel good, at least until the next
price drop. Actually, I feel good having had it for a year. Has had
enormous value on several cc flights.

Amazingly how much more they can pack in the same physical package - a
little faster processor perhaps, more memory, improved (an already
great) screen. A winna!
