    ? Weight

    1.85 lbs. with standard battery (weight is approximate and may vary by components)



    ? Size (W x H x D)

    10.2 x .38-.83 x 8.2 (inches)



    ? Estimated Battery Life

    Standard Battery: 2.5-4.0 hours



    ? Video RAM

    64MB (shared)



    ? LCD

    10.4? XGA (1024X768)



    ? Hard Drive

    20GB



    I am not a big fan on small screen.

    The internal hard drive is too small for me...

    shared video RAM pissed me off.

    no built-in optical drive.. give me a break.



    The size and weight are cool.. but not very practical.

    It's not even in the same notebook class... why would you think this is an answer to the Powerbook (I assume you mean the 12" PB).



    The Sony notebook in line with the 12" PB would be the V505 series.

    Wow, nice machine. I wish Apple could pull off something like this. I hate carrying around my heavy ass 12 incher.
