Totally agree with you, Lucas. Same hassles here.

Fan working all the time, battery lasting less than 2 hours…

Grhhhh, what a laptop!

Not sure if Vaios got any better since I got my FS 115 wide-screen, but fan noise, 2-hour battery life and noisy internal DVD never made me a happy Vaio owner.

Sounds good if you’re in the market for a $3000 portable blu-ray player…

Blade Runner what the hell are you talking about – you may not like Sony, fair enough, but your calculations are just fantasy numbers grasped out of thin air and show a spectacular lack of understanding of consumer electronics.

Just because you may store movies on a hard disk – most people don’t thus the DVD business is still a multi-billion dollar industry.

First of all, why is this worth a post? Last I checked this wasn’t a gadget blog.
Secondly, who still bothers with DVDs, be they Blu-ray or not. I can’t even remember when I burned my last CD or DVD. And as far as the picture quality advantage of Blu-ray dics goes, I think it’s safe to say that it’s wasted on a laptop screen.
Connect it to your TV? Why not get a dedicated Blu-ray player instead? Better quality and your notebook isn’t tied up while watching a movie.
Sony notebooks in general? Well, they do look very nice. Unfortunately it’s impossible to keep up with the dizzying speed of model changes, support is a marginal and sometimes costly, and the keyboards are good if all you do is type a couple of addresses into your browser bar.

Let’s keep the hardware news off this otherwise great site. There’s plenty of other websites out there who claim that as their rightful home turf.

Of course Blu-Ray is included, Sony can’t seem to give them away. Who wants to buy a $400 BRD player and then buy $30-$40 movies when you can get the same movie on DVD for $10 with DVD recorders at $100? It’s too overpriced and not worth it to “Upgrade”.

I have been using the Sony Vaio 11″ Models and find them to be
really good. The size makes it truly portable. Mine has the 64GB SSD with 250GBHD. Need to get one of these new ones though with 256GB Flash Drive and Blu Ray.Nice!

Blade Runner,

quote: xbox 360 sold for 199 Euros incl. ‘everything’

i suppose you mean ‘nothing’. I rather pay my own 10$ hdmi cable than have to buy a overpriced harddisk, wifi module, live subscription and having a piece of hardware that you only can use for 1-2 years before it breaks…

and for your blu-ray argument… not everyone is a pirate and watches movies on their pc’s.

well henderson the PS3 design is from 1986 – no joke – check out the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” the japanese took the design from the Cameron Frye answering machine

why would someone care about blue ray? a 32 GB USB stick is cheaper in europe as a single 25 GB blue ray disk! eyeryone stores HD movies on hard disks why bother with BR?

and if sonys products are so cool and great how come they don’t make any revenues?

in the long run sony will be gone soon – same thing with american car makers

This seems practically perfect in every way (aside from the cash). I’m saving up – what is the alternative? Crapware from Dell, HP etc? And how can you compare Sony to Samsung?!? In any case, Panasonic makes the best TVs…

So this is what Sony hopes to offer as a solution in the same price region as the MacBook Air? Hah. Both equally overpriced and lacking in substance IMO.
