Sony's Flash-Based Notebook Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hefty-price-for-loss-of-capability dept.

Lucas123 writes "Computerworld's Rich Ericson reviewed Sony's first all flash-based laptop, which carries a whopping $3,200 price tag. Ericson says the laptop runs incredibly fast, with an average data transfer rate of 33.6MB/sec and great battery life. But, the laptop is also limited to certain uses. While lending itself to travel, the small capacity of its hard drive doesn't make it a real competitor for a main PC workhorse. 'While there's a lot to like [about the VAIO TZ191N notebook], there's only very limited uses for which I'd recommend this system. The best features — its size and the flash drive — are also its biggest limitations.'"

    I don't. I use Linux. Who the FUCK cares? Did anyone ask what you use?

    Yes, I know that is a fairly standard answer around here but that doesn't change the fact that it's true. Fantastic, now why the fuck do you think we care?
