That being said - I'd like a THREE (not four) pound laptop with -
1. Opitcal drive - for easy installs and viewing video on the plane - I don't want to watch the airlines Meryl Streep movie about a dying family member and how they come together...
2. Gigabit network card
3. Built in cell modem - that works under XP
4. 13" screen - smaller screens mean smaller keyboards which means it is hard for me to type.
5. DVI and VGA out would be great.
6. THREE USB connectors would be great.
7. Your choice of OS - that way you won't have a hard time finding drivers for XP.
8. Replaceable battery for long flights.

Granted the macbook air is 2lbs but it is missing too many features at 2lbs to make me want it. The Sony's have some of the features I listed above but I don't think they have one that meets all the criteria and is only 3lbs fully loaded. I have no doubt the macbook air will help them along that path though. Hopefully mac will consider making a macbook air deluxe that will be a little heavier but will feature all the items missing in my list. Competition is a great thing.]]>Jan 23rd 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/that is why I love the air, it will bring prices to competitive lappys down...]]>Jan 23rd 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/

I own the TZ model myself, best electronic purchase ive ever made...Its flawless (besides the tech specs, not too powerful...but when you want portability: power is something you must sacrifice)

This SZ series looks extremely sexy, i wonder how it compares to my TZ as far as weight/portability... Sony does it right with laptops, you simply can't get better then them]]>Jan 23rd 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 6:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 6:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 5:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 5:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 30th 2008 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/Jan 23rd 2008 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/sonys-13-3-inch-sz7-laptop-lineup-available-for-pre-order/
Don't waste your time. The fanatical apple haters around these parts ask questions like that rhetorically. ...they don't actually want the obvious answer; they just want to hate Apple.
