WE DON'T EVEN GET AERO GLASS!!]]>Sep 2nd 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 2nd 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/
Okay, if this thing is going to be EXPENSIVE it can't possibly ship with an Atom CPU. A CULV processor is the obvious choice, don't know why they can't figure that out. Unless its under $500 it shouldn't have an Atom, period.

Looks very sexy. I especially like the look of the very hardy looking flop down Ethernet port, which on the 1008HA I assumed would break off. If that's an indication of the kind of structural quality on this thing it bodes well.

Still, at this sort of price point Sony can't make ANY mistakes. Like that stupid itsy bitsy right shift key. By itself that's a deal killer.

With a FAST SSD (Indilinx or Intel, certainly not Samsung), great materials, an incredibly slim body, fabulous battery life, and a 720p-ish screen this could be quite something. They still won't sell many, but the ones they sell will turn heads.]]>Sep 2nd 2009 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 3rd 2009 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 3rd 2009 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 2nd 2009 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/

The Topcase they design with care. They also focus on making the display lid look great. Then you turn the machine upside-down and what you get is a disaster.

The other thing I'm wondering about. What's wrong with these trackpads. They are STILL only stamp-size. Even on premium 2000$ 17" notebooks. Apple can't have a patent saying others must not have large trackpads...

Still I loved it, until one day it just stopped. No power, no life. Finito. "Sony, can you repair my arm and leg of a machine?" "Sorry, no."

Sony may make lovely machines but they got me good on that X505 and I will never buy one of their products as long as I live.]]>Sep 2nd 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 2nd 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 2nd 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 2nd 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 2nd 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/Sep 2nd 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/hands-on-sony-x-series-slimster/
