I've got a Sony TZ (also 1.2GHz but much older Intel GFX) and it does me fine as my travlling PC - I've got a system at home to do all the heavy duty stuff.
Again, hope the battery is good, because it's non-removable.
£1,649 = Fail.
The XPS laptops look good, have far better specs, and are cheaper. I actually prefer the look of the XPS's.
With this sort of money I could easily build a Core i7 rig and still have cash to spare for a netbook. The price is rediculously high.
You could afford a 24" screen, top GPU, you could splash out on a custom paint job...Quote:

You'd be a pretty good system builder to get that all in under 2kg and portable enough to fit in a slipcase ... what sort of battery are you using?Quote:
