Sony's New Vaio PCG-TR1A: 12" Powerbook Killer?

Posted by timothy on from the paging-randy-waterhouse dept.

Anonymous Howard writes "Sony has a hot new subnote on it's hand: the Vaio PCG-TR1A. This subnote is packed full of features: integrated camera (still and video), 10.6 inch bright wide-format screen, 900MHz Centrino, CD-RW/DVD Combo drive, 30GB drive, 802.11b, two usb ports, firewire, 3.11 pounds and a magnesium alloy case. The thing looks really cool. For me, it's the first subnote that actually gives me a viable option for purchase instead of a the Apple Powerbook 12". Read a article about it over at Designtechnica. Check out this forum thread that has good pics, other then the stock pics, next to a VPR Matrix 200A5."

    Wow, he is one step ahead of us all. A true inovator, he didn't even read the Post, never mind the article!

    This is the internet, you could look it up...

    Say if you used google and looked for lbs kilograms conversion.

    Just like the dutch, trying to get somebody else to do the work...

    Yeah, good thing Dell doesn't let the user determine their own needs. Gosh, that might be, like, confusing.

    Oh, wait, it's Macintoshes that are supposed to be feature-poor. Oh, wait, it's a Macintosh that's the benchmark for small laptops.

    The computer market is coming apart at the seams! All the stupid stereotypes are...gasp! Wrong!
