Great stuff, nice mix of features covered. 

 

That Vaio looks nice, shame about the price though.

 

Its getting hard to keep up with all the new stuff at the moment, guess thats a good thing. (or is it?)

Wow, that episode was full'o'stuff. I liked it.

 

The design of the Sony is great but it's more of a high end netbook with an inflated price. I guess it's the competitor to the new Dell
Adamo and the new HP Envy 13 (although the HP has a screen closer to regular notebook size)

Information overload is kind of why we started This Week on C9. There's a lot of good stuff you may not know about and it would be great to filter the signal from the noise Smiley

The Sony willbe great for people who are already tired of their underpowered netbook.

 

I'd still rather have this HP though

Disk to VHD is nice. I used it when vmWare came out with it about 3 years ago to get a demo pc setup ready for our sales team.
