The only reason Apple would switch to AMD would be a custom-ish chip for Apple machines that AMD sold to no-one else.
And yes it is coming....]]>Jun 21st 2010 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/Jun 21st 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/

Wait until you see its predecessor the Vaio NW]]>Jun 22nd 2010 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/Jun 21st 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/While Sony may market themselves as "the best" they aren't that great if you know what you're looking for; regardless, adding AMDs to the line up can only help. AMDs offer a better low cost alternative to Intels while still performing admirably and the added competition to Intel is a win/win for the market, consumers, and OEMs.

As a side note, I haven't seen a Vaio advertisement in a long time. Perhaps I'm watching the wrong shows?]]>Jun 21st 2010 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/
Sony also pays attention to the little things that even Apple ignores. The Battery Care function is possibly the most ingenious addition that everybody should, but doesn't, have.

Throw on a steep undervolt, and you can't even feel an FW get warm. They're amazing amazing laptops for the price. I wouldn't trade it for a MBP from the same generation. ]]>Jun 21st 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/ Insert Star Wars reference here]]>Jun 21st 2010 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/

I agree. Desktop chips aren't bad, but a no go for notebooks.]]>Jun 21st 2010 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/Agreed. AMD is way too far behind in laptop processors. They run way too hot and take up too much power compared to the Intel equivalent. ]]>Jun 21st 2010 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/Jun 21st 2010 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/sony-selling-amd-powered-vaios-for-the-first-time-in-years/
I just don't see how anyone can think he's so funny. He's not. He makes one little joke.

Okay, so maybe once in a while, he comes up with decent material. But most of the time, it's just rubbish. So one guy decides to rank him up. As soon as people see that he's getting ranked up, everyone else does it just to fit in and look "cool."
Why? Why do you do that?!?!


It's beyond me :/
