Sony Vaio GT3/K: You Spilled Your Laptop on my Camcorder
Anonymous Howard writes "This article talks about Sony's new, limited production Vaio GT3/K. It's a mixture of laptop and full fledged camcorder that uses the Transmeta 600mhz Crusuoe chip. Weighing in at 2.4 lbs, this hybrid has an amazing battery life of up to 17 hours, 30 GB drive, ATI Rage Mobility-M1 and 128 MB of RAM, and a swiveling screen.
This is definately a very unique device, one that completely blows away Sony's previous attempts of the laptop/video combination machines, mainly due the fact that the video camera is not a wimpy little video lense, but an actual full fledged digital camcorder."
This looks like something this place would sell. They have all sorts of cool import notebooks and gadgets. The stuff might seem expensive, but just remember all these electronics are going to help you get laid.
Is that what you'd get from a stoner Subway employee?
;)
Yeah, we, uh, have this new kinda bread for our sandwiches... it's, uh, got a "special ingredient". We call it "hibread".

It's called a wire
You plug it into shit
This is the technology that allows the internet to be on seperate computers (as opposed to one big one).
Who are y oo ?
That's good!
My old vaio only has a 17 hour battery life when it's on stand-by...
I winced when I read that - I keep wanting to send Slashdot a dollar so that they can buy themselves and editor. Anyway, I think he meant "hybrid." Of course, I think you mean "high-bred," so there's that. Of course, maybe everyone meant, "Hi, Bread!" It's good to greet your baked goods.
Either way, Sony is very please with the outcome.
Not half as please with the editing job me bet.
I love the smell of Karma in the morning
I have noticed that SONY uses Windows ME on a lot of their unique notebooks. The PictureBook uses it as well -- they are almost impossible to upgrade to Win 2k. I never understood SONY's passion for the quirkiest Windows release with its notebook.
Anyone know why?
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Finally, I can eat my electronics when I'm done with them! Even better than regular bread. Why can't we make more things out of this new, amazing "hibread"?
What's so cool about a swivelling screen? Considering how quickly and often laptops develop swivelling screens when the hinges break, I just sort of thought they were intentionally designed that way. Or are they trying to sell this as a feature now?
I'd like to buy myself and editor too. In fact, for all the late night postings on /., we all need to have and editor around to correct our personal mistakes. Like a personal trainer. I too winced at hibread though.

you'll be lucky if it can read an audio cd correctly. Momma Sony always said, "Burning DVDs is da DEVIL!"
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
It just wouldn't have been rite if I didn't poast a spelling rebuk without a tipoe of my oen.
Did you not just see me disparage it?

If we're adding accessories, can I add a couple and remove one, take away that keyboard , add a touch screen, put in a mobile phone, and you have something I might be interested in. Oh and make it fit in my back pocket. Sort of like a Ericsson p800 Mark X. That I might be interested, as long as I could whack a version of mame on there, and perhaps a GBA emulator, and maybe a corkscrew.
well, at least you can video 17 hours of BSOD anyhow
I thought it was bread made with 'special' ingredients.. hell, brownies are too cliche :)
Quite what that had to do with a notebook/video camera, I'm not sure. I figured the editor had eaten too much 'hibread'..
They keep making digital cameras and camcorders smaller, but there's one thing you need big: the lens. God damn it, I need to take pictures of the neon lights in Shinjuku without using a flash.
Last time I used a miniature camera there it only had a small lens, so I had to use the flash to take pix at 1/30s. Camera -> Flash -> into oncoming traffic -> Swerve -> BIG PILE UP.
I'm not doing that again, so give me BIG LENSES!

Damnit! It is impossible to attach a modifier to the word unique. Unique implies the existence of only one with no shades of grey (i.e. a unique is a boolean). Would you say a bit is very 0? Very 1?
If you think about quantum computation things do become fuzzy. Perhaps the words bit,byte etc should not be used in that context?
Crow? Is that you?
