What I'm more suprised at is that such a style-centric company as Sony would release what looks like a cheap rip-off of the iMac. It's just... weak.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/Oct 2nd 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
And in adition: A FRIGGING CADDY? A FRIGGING VERTICAL DVD-DRIVE WITH CADDY?
This alone is such a big design flaw. I couldn't buy it.

Nah I'm just enjoying my MBP and iPhone that's why I put the apple logo in that avatar :D

Blu-ray onboard?!? NICE!

Wired mouse and keyboard? Standard fare. Most educational institutions require them. A lot easier to not lose.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
i guess these types of keyboards will become more common, it's a nice thing and i think a good development since the old keyboards are looking kind a chubby and do not match to the new sleak designs... and i guess we can say getting "inspiration" from competitors is a good thing if a design works out, by that we all benefit :)]]>Oct 2nd 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
A 1920×1080 screen to go with a slot in BR-drive and it would a entertainment system for the student no room for a big screen TV. If it is priced like a Vaio I'm not interested. ]]>Oct 2nd 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
I'm sure they could have squeezed a little more resolution in there! Plus led backlighting would be welcomed. ]]>Oct 2nd 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
Not many people are going to go without a graphics card, let alone the anti-customizability factor just for the design....

Sony should be ashamed of themselves for including a wired keyboard and mouse, the iMac has wired as well...but i wouldnt expect a premium company like SOny to do it too.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
Its a good first try by Sony. THe design has a little way to go yet but its pretty good.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/Oct 2nd 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
very attractive all-in-1 btw]]>Oct 2nd 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/Oct 2nd 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
Sony would dent this if they can offer these systems for around $500. Any more than that, and I'd rather just go with an iMac.

I think its quite apt. They both target the premium market.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/just looks like, well.. A laptop.

There's always been one thing I think Apple have, and that's good
looking hardware (I'm not saying I think this looks like an Apple
computer). As we can see though, this is becoming less and less true
with the things companies are bringing out recently.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/Oct 2nd 2008 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/Oct 2nd 2008 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/Oct 3rd 2008 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/I think Sony did a great job on the desktop.

This is superior to iMac design purely for the fact it doesn't have that hideous chin.

If all-in-ones are your thing and you don't want a Mac(shocking, but it happens), this is a great choice.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
Laptop has already been shipping for a few days and starts at $799. It's been on Sony's site for a few days already, but it's sold out. If you live near Fry's you can pick one up there (saw them last Friday). Circuit City might have them by now too.

Desktop ships on 10/07 and starts at $1099. Has been on Sony's site for a few weeks, it went up just a few days after CEDIA.

Wait, this isn't from Apple? I WANT!

/Faux Apple hater diatribe

P.S. Holding that CD tray steady while you try to clip the disc on the spindle will be lots of fun. Every car stereo has a slot-loading disc player. Why is Apple the only computer manufacturer who dares dump the ridiculous tray?]]>Oct 2nd 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/sony-makes-the-js1-and-sister-laptop-ns1-official/
I know people with cars from a decade ago who still use factory slot-load CD players in their cars.

I wish hardware companies would figure it out!]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:57PM
