I'd still take the refurb rev A Macbook Air for $999 over this. For that $100 price difference I think it's a no brainer which one has more value.
Still, this Sony is an impressive feat of engineering and design. How they crammed a hard drive, the ram, the wifi card, the BATTERY, and then had room left over for the logic board... all in an 8 inch diagonal frame... impressive.
The weight and the optional extended battery life is neat. But too small for my tastes. And why on earth they would run Vista on something that small is kinda funny.
it's not quite an 8" frame...did you notice the huge borders on the sides of the screen?
