I know there was a thread talking about it before but I wanted to talk about it again.



I finally saw some video footage of it, unpacking it and setting it up on "The Screen Savers". It's an awesome design. Some were calling it cheap. There is nothing "cheap" about the case. it looked like the same plastic Apple uses.



Apple seriously needs to start implementing some of this stuff into their towers.



Never been tempted by a PC but this sure does the job for me

    I've seen and used one in person and echo Applenut's sentiment. As a long-time MiniDisc user, the built-in NetMD recorder is particularly appealing to me. I have to say that the case does look and feel a little cheap in person, but it's not too bad. MovieShaker--Sony's answer to iMovie--is garbage, though; it limits the output quality of your movies, among other deficiencies.

    Yes I have always said if I ever bought a PC.. it would be a Sony. They are like the Apple of the Windows world. That computer is hot.

    I think this is where Sony and Apple are divergent. The VAIO MX is the "center of your digital world" (to take a cue from Intel.)



    Apple wants it's computers to be your "digital hub," not your digital Swiss Army media center.

    I was playing with that Sony in CompUSA 2 weeks ago. I would definately be begging my parents to let me get it if only it didn't run Windows.

    I had always felt a longing for a Vaio...until I bought one last year. Now it is being used by my sis-in-law while I tap away on my Pismo and my Quicksilver.
