    wow, cool. It's thin, but it's wide. Trust Sony to introduce a new notebook category. Introducing the "Thin n' Wide" A17 Sony VAIO Thanks for the post allan [ :)]

    AND it's got the Dothan processor as indicated in the specs...the first one to surface.

    I hope Sony talks about this next week at their press conference in New York.

    Actually Acer was the first to "market" with the Dothan. They unveiled their Aspire 2025WLMI about 2-3 weeks ago. Seeing as it's clocked at 1.8ghz and has a 2mb L2 cache, I think it's safe to assume it's dothan [^]
