Sony is releasing new sleek looking laptops...but unfortunately they aren't the perfect ones...The ideal screen size in my view is 14.1", but they only offer 13.1", 13.3", and 16.4" (and that is not a typo, it is 16.4" and it is wide screen)...It is also available in white on white which is what I prefer but I couldn't find a picture of. It is customizable and everything and I think they feature the lastest intel processors operating up to 2.8 GHz with a front side bus speed of 1066 MHz and up to 6 MB cache. The model that fits my budget is a 2.5 GHz with 6 MB cache. The prices are from the USA site since the Canadian site does not have customize feature yet...
2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor
Windows Vista Ultimate
2 GB RAM
250 GB @ 5400 rpm
DVD read/write
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470 (256 MB of Video RAM)
Price....$1559.99 US
I suspect that the Canadian model will not exceed $1700. All that looks good on paper and on my wallet until I factor in the size of a 16.4" screen...compared to my existing laptop, the height and depth are very close but the width is more than a inch wider and it is slightly heavier...I'll have to wait to see it in stores before making my decision...
The 15.4" Mac is slimmer, lighter and smaller than my existing laptop...oh...choices...
