CNET Asia Review

By Jon L. Jacobi

Very good

7.6

out of 10

The good: Only 0.785kg; extremely thin; handsome; excellent performance for an ultraportable; includes 802.11g wireless PC Card.

The bad: Expensive; no drive bay; documentation isn't in English; tiny spacebar.

The bottom line: This extraordinarily light ultraportable might thrill business travelers, but you'd be better off with a U.S. version.

minute improvement to sony legacy line of thin notebooks

Jan 17, 2008

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: thin, lightweight, mobility
Cons: diminutive specs
Opinion:
since this is being compared to the newly launched Macbook-Air, it doesn't matched with spec/price comparison. but aside from the difference in OS between the two, the layout of the keyboard also differs according to user preference. pc form factors are now in the process of elimination, such that pc manufacturers continuously produced varied but similar spec-to-spec models, that soon will diminish over which consumer would buy at an affordable price, where sony still hovers above.
