What the hell were they thinking? It's not portable and it's not powerful enough to be a desktop? Sometimes Sony can be incredibly stupid.
OR KILL HIM.
Thin is beautiful. If Sony can squash stuff into something that small, I want Apple to do it better.

Er...scroll down and get up to speed.
WOWzas!
I mean just my Home directory weighs in at almost 30 gigs.
thats alot of pr0n.
Look at the slim...it's specs all but suck and it's $2772!
My 15" AlBook is amazingly better then that and only .5" thicker
...though 5x heavier
Steve said he wants apple to be more like Sony, it would seem Sony wants to be more like Apple with emphasis on design (well...they tried at least) and crippling hardware.

Scroll UP and see what WE'RE talking about. You wear your pc-loving nature on your sleeve...
Since none of you have done mechanical design for an electronics device, as far as I know, none of you know just how hard it is to get things to fit. I imagine that they had to do a lot of work to get low profile LSI's and re-arrange circuits in very creative ways.
The desktop, well, is a piece of shit.
moving to general discussion.
I see executives using these things. They are very light so they are easy to tuck into a pouch or briefcase. They use them to display powerpoints on LCD projectors and to check a little email.
At Sony's site the have more details. The battery life actually sounds not too terrible. They have a Lithium battery, 2.0 Amp-Hrs. They claim 2.5 to 4 hours of use. Many other computers of this size only offered 45 minutes of life - a glorified UPS.
Once cool thing is that the SP version of the subnote is made of carbon fiber. Is this the first carbon fiber notebook computer?
The Desktop is bizarre. A 17" PB would be a far better choice.
Of all its specs, the shared VRAM is the most heinous of sins. Screw intel's i820 chipset.
A very cheap ripoff.
