Sony's Flash-Based Notebook Reviewed

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.'"

    Your model would probably have just as much expense if they didnt cut so many corners, especially on quality.

    Ouch for you, loser. He pegged you and your pathetic ilk a little too well, didn't he? Hit a little too close to home, maybe? Poor dingus. All you can do now is kill yourself.

    Dingus: rhymes with Mingus and cunnilingus. Almost rhymes with Primus, too.
