Sony let fly a raft of new specs in several Vaio lines today, including beefing up the high-definition AR (pictured, left) and FZ (pictured, right) series and the TZ and SZ subnotebooks. The flagship desktop-replacement AR790U gets a T9300 Intel Core 2 Duo bump and sports a 17-inch display, 4GB RAM, 400GB HD, 512MB nVidia GPU, Blu-ray burner and HDMI for $3300. The FZ485U now packs a T8100 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo, 15.4-inch screen, 4GB RAM, 300GB HD, 256MB nVidia graphics, Blu-ray burner and HDMI out for $2200. In the subnote department we've got the Vaio SZ791 now sporting a T9300 Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD, and 13.3-inch display for $2500, with the TZ298 packing a U7700 Core 2 Duo, 64GB SSD plus 250GB HDD storage space, and an 11.1-inch screen in a light 2.7 pound frame for a cool $3600. All of these will be available for pre-order starting January 7 which, for the calendarically challenged, is tomorrow.

They must be smoking some quality Crack!
Uhm... Nicely said. lol :D

still, the 11.1in sounds sweet.
I am considering buying the TZ298, but I am waiting till MacWorld to see if any of the ultra portable rumors are true...
If you traveled as much as I do, with as much gear as I do, then price to save my back is worth it.
Since I use both Macs and PCs, the new MacBook maybe a worth while option.

I'm actually typing on the 11.1" Sony TZ Series (Of course not this newer model), and I absolutly love this laptop!
Good god I wouldn't trade this thing for any other laptop in the world. Just about everyone that see's it gives me a compliment (Mostly about its size/look). It cost me around $3,000 and is probably the best investment I've ever made.
The reason I bought this laptop was because I needed the most portable device. It has an extremely small screen, very very light weight, and does exactly what I need to do, which is mainly Word Processing and Internet.
These laptops are for those that need something portable. Simple as that, so for those that are negative about it, obvious its not for you...if u need something portable, this is a perfect solution.
Of course the price tag is a lot...but if you can afford it get it
