Nobody!


(i know what you are talking about, but haven't there been enough laptops with this design that it is pretty much known as "not stolen')]]>Sep 2nd 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/if you are referring to apple... please remember that sony made 'chicklet' laptop keyboards way before them.

Welp, NOT APPLE, because this one has a Delete key! See it right there near the Backspace key?

Apple portables STILL don't have a Delete key; they have only a Backspace key that's mislabeled "Delete." YEP, "ELEGANT."]]>Sep 3rd 2008 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/
How can you still think the delete key is a good idea? I already told you all who?'s best.

Give it a rest, Apple has a long history of taking designs from the PC world (color displays anyone?). And the rest of the market does the same thing.

That's about:

- Twice what you can spend on a high-end Gaming desktop.
- A bit more that what you can spend on a high-end Gaming laptop.
- Six times what you can spend on an Atom-powered netbook.

The price of this product makes zero sense for me.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/A: Carrying around a High end gaming desktop or laptop all day.
B: Doing stuff that requires a descent level of hardware performance (watching hidef/photoshop/video editing) on a netbook.

- I can photoshop JUST FINE on my cheap-ass Celeron laptop. I can also run Google Earth with no lag, with 10 Firefox tabs open including 4 loading youtube videos, 2 downloads and a movie paused in the background. All with Skype good and running.

What the use of a 2008 "gaming" netbook that can't run a 2007 game properly on medium settings??? I mean, it's pretty pointless to have an expensive piece of hardware that can take a "shot" at everything, but is good at very few.

Plus, it really IS expensive. I'd pay more if it could at least play a game from last year properly.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/Sep 2nd 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/Sep 2nd 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/
This is a fantastic ultraportable, I'm thinking of replacing my Vaio TZ for it later this year or early 2009.

I do wish it had media buttons, considering its amazing screen, HDMI out and Blu-Ray option.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/
Ya know, connect this to an LCD TV via HDMI and watch The Dark Knight in Blu-Ray 15ft away.

In my opinion, 13" is the ideal screen size for laptops. I have a SZ791 that I carry everyday for work and college. A smaller screen would be too small for everyday use and a bigger one too heavy to carry on my backpack.

What can i say about performance? Well, it rocks on vista and ubuntu!]]>Sep 2nd 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/
However I am more attracted to Sony silver SR series that are cheaper but in most aspects similar. It's the only current laptop that makes me want to buy it.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/Sep 10th 2008 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/
You can get the HDD models starting at around $2000 and always upgrade to SSD later.

I would love for Sony to add a backlit keyboard option, 54mm expresscard slot vs 34mm in their laptops, hardware media buttons, enable virtualization instead of disabling it like asstards.

And what I will kill for is a powerful external graphics card to hook up to this when I'm home on my 52" HDTV and then unplug it and take it around college otherwise.

Its a beautiful machine, but Sony also chooses to cripple it in some ways I'll never know why.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/sony-vaio-z-the-engadget-review/its probably because this one has a cd/dvd burner in it compared to the air which has none unless you buy the add on cd drive for it

in my opion sony did a good job anyway trying to compete with apple
and they arew the first one i think to actualy compete with them]]>Sep 2nd 2008 4:10PM
