    ... and shaken it about a good deal over the last couple of weeks, my greatest hope now is that Sony will revive the X as an Ultrabook.

    Basically if Sony can reinterpret the Tosh as a <800g, ~6-hour, 11" machine with Gobi at ~$1.5K, I'm in. Unfortunately as regards the Z830, for me there's shades of the R-series which I never really liked that much - so it's being tossed into the pool of Stuff My Minions Can Play With.

    However I do have to say that the hardware design of the Tosh means that there's likely to be significantly less of the cosmetic issues that plagues the 'plastic' / alloy-in-often-inappropriate-locations of the flagship VAIOs. I do wish Sony would ape that.
