I just saw Sony's new Centrino notebook, the VAIO Z1 Series, while wandering around at BestBuy today. I was little disappointed that this wasn't one of the machines in the CNET reviews--I would've been interested in finding out what they thought of the Z1. The Sony Z1 is definitely one of the cooler-looking machines I've seen in a while. (Maybe even cooler-looking than my Ti PowerBook!)
The specs that mattered to me: 14.1" screen, 4.7 lbs, CD-RW/DVD-ROM, 2 x USB 2.0, decent keyboard w/ no obvious layout design flaws.
I'd post a link to the relevant page on the Sony site but the URL had lots of session gobbledygook in the query string.

Article from BBC News site about this includes a picture of the Arm Spirit in case you are wondering what it looks like...
