    Granted, these laptops are in Japan right now, I imagine a few will make their way here. http://www.vaio.sony.co.jp/Products/note.html

    I want to know more about the E series on the page.

    interesting, looks to me like they're touting it as a portable media center to have around the house, notice that is has a remote control. what's up with the floppy disk drive they seem to be expousing as a feature with it though...why would they put a floppy drive on a media center focused machine? I'm puzzled, I can't tell what this is all about.

    From what I could make out the highest cpu offering is 1.8ghz, not 2. Also, to get that you have to pay for 2gb of ram. Worse, only a 64mb vid card! [ :(!]

    Sony always manages to mess up [V]
