But it is a bit weird to compare a high powered laptop with 17 inch monitor and blu-ray to the worlds thinnest laptop with 13.3" screen and no optical drive. ]]>Jan 24th 2008 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/Jan 24th 2008 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/Jan 24th 2008 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/

We have a couple of the older version of this Sony and it's no where near as nice as a 17" MacBook Pro. (Personal tastes perhaps - not looking to start another fan boy riot!)]]>Jan 24th 2008 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/Jan 24th 2008 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/sonys-17-inch-vaio-ar-with-blu-ray-meets-penryn/

Then again, the last PowerMac G4 was made nearly 6 years ago, and if the laptop was purchased any time near that, I would say it's probably not a fair comparison, not even to a slightly older version of the SONY VAIO AR.

Looking at the specifications for this computer, and especially the fact that it includes a BR drive makes me assume that it can play back BR discs. Let me know if you have any good places that discuss this topic in depth. I've tried searching, but I come up with strangely few sites, any system requirements end up being for other stuff, like MS's WMV-HD or something. So, an actual URL would be great.
Thanks. :)]]>Jan 25th 2008 3:36AM
