Well put. I feel the same way.

You say minimalistic, I say bland.

No problems at all with 1080 HD playback on my XPS M1340 with P9600, GT210M (driving an external monitor) and 256SSD. In fact, no problems with any types of video on any site... so far; the occasional slow internet connection or Crysis Warhead on "Enthusiast" settings are the only things that seem capable of slowing this thing down. ]]>Jan 19th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/Jan 9th 2010 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/Jan 9th 2010 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/Jan 9th 2010 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/sony-vaio-z-demo-video-is-fully-rendered-somewhat-dizzying-sti/A numeric keypad would be nice but this is a 13.3" laptop.
