They are the lightest and thinnest I have found yet! But very $ aswell. Though most are happy with how they perform, it would be very good for another co. to step up with the same offerings at that small lightweight size and force the price to drop.
Thing is Sony knows that most that travel and are buisness men/women they want light powerfull and longer batt. life cost somes second...... So they own that segment right now. They honestly dont care if people like us buy one or not!
Hehe- keep watching ebay and in 3 years you can get a vaio laptop for a reasonable price!
My dad and I use it together.. he is a lawyer and needs it for WordPerfect and I use it for some games like PuzzleBobble on the road with Earthlink (yea, my dad has 56k for on the road usage but cable for home)
