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

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."

    granted, moderators don't read the articles, but in this case it is because they're lazy AND because the link is slashdotted. Not just the first option. :P

    I did not call anyone gay. If you sit with your legs crossed and drink lattes, I'll call you feminine. That is not the same thing as gay. Most of the gay people I've known were more the roughneck biker types, not feminine types at all.

    I wasn't being sarcastic as much as I was being realistic. Most Apple products appear feminine.

    Take the colors you can get: cherry, grape, that funny bright orange, etc. Those are colors of feminisity.

    Most products are rounded and bubbly looking, too. Not the more masculine black and silver you see with other products on the market.

    Forgive me for voicing an opinion. I thought that's what forums were all about.
