    As "stunning" as the screen is, I think I'll wait another 3 months for ION & Windows 7 pre-installed. When that happens I'll consider the W.

    Second link fixed.


    Anyone else thinks the power button is placed in the wrong spot (in the front)?

    Wow. Very interesting. You would almost think that some of the things they concentrated on are a joke... but I guess they take it pretty seriously.

    I kinda like this netbook. It's a shame my eyes wouldn't be able to deal with 1366x768 resolution on a 10.1" screen.

    Thats one of the reason i kinda like it.

    Then again the hp mini has just had an option added to be upgraded to the same res. Somehow i imagine the sony screen to look better though.

    I thought you said Sony builds from the core out with functionality first and looks 2nd? This is clearly a looks-first notebook > function

    Egg on you
