This is the Vaio TZ's main competitor, same 11" screen and form factor. I do like how this can be upgraded to 4gb of ram vs 2gb in the TZ and uses the newer 965 chipset, X3100 graphics vs 945/GMA 900 in TZ. And VGA and micro-DVI output vs just VGA output in the TZ.
By the way, I am a Sony fan and own the TZ130N/B model and love it. Though my future may be Asus. I hear their notebooks get mediocre battery life in general, but if their battery benchmarks are true, its quite impressive and on par with the TZ. My next notebook may be Asus's next U series with Montevina. But I can't wait to see the successor to the TZ also.
With the previous U1E, the ram and hard drive were both accessible on the bototm, why did you remove that from its sequel Asus? Its the same as the TZ now.
I like it when the first post is informative. Especially when I dont RTFA. I was planning on buying montevina ASAP, but HP just ordered me a new laptop(warranty on 3.5 year old laptop), so I guess I have to get use out of that first for atleast a year. Montevina sounds exciting though, weve been on DDR2 for a while now.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Nice, but not THAT nice
