based on that alone, and your claim of the slower HDD, I don't condsider the AW to be a competitor at all.

The only exception seems to be Apple's 17" MBP, all others are firmly in the "more keys = better" camp.

18.4 inches is stupid though - i'm all about desktops and small laptops with this amazing thing called The Internet that allows them to have similar stuff on.

that said i'm typing this on my 24"imac so that sort of goes against all my points. i'll get my coat.]]>Oct 5th 2008 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/sonys-18-4-inch-vaio-vgn-aw190-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/sonys-18-4-inch-vaio-vgn-aw190-gets-reviewed/

"...this machine would likely suit graphic designers and photographers quite well, but the average joe / jane may not..."

As a graphic designer who spends a lot of time on the road working - I appreciate all the screen realestate I can get, even if it means lugging a bigger and heavier laptop through airport scanners. The downside is that even my 17 in MacBook Pro is too big to work in coach but a 15.4 is imposable for anything in creative suite. Guess its Business Class + or late nights in some hotel room banging out a project.]]>Oct 8th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/sonys-18-4-inch-vaio-vgn-aw190-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/sonys-18-4-inch-vaio-vgn-aw190-gets-reviewed/Nov 8th 2008 5:46PM
