Son'ys New VAIO type F
Gotta be the best looking laptop I've seen by far! and the specs are very decent.
I would take this in an instant if it was sold in Australia but as it stands I'm stuck with my laptop purchase. Any additions to my current thoughts?
Dell i9200 - screen problems (even WXGA+), ? over battery life, probably
bigger than I would like
HP DV1000 - integrated video (even though I'm unlikely to be playing games -
but would be nice).
Asus W1Nb - Heat issues, 2hr battery life.
Asus W3N - Not released yet, but leaning towards it if battery life is good.
I am willing to take a bigger laptop if the price is good and the screen is fab, but unfortunately the dell screen sounds a bit iffy. I was set on the HP1000 after seeing it in a store, but hear complaints about the narrow vertical viewing angle. And the integrated graphics is restritive. Otherwise really nice. Though I get the impression HP aren't the most reliable of manufacturers?
Asus notebooks I've never had any contact with. So a bit wary about quality. even though I hear they are a quality product?? The W1Nb sounds really good with the digital tv tuner, but heat issues and battery life?
Anyway this Sony type F seems to be the perfect answer, but it probably wont' be released elsewhere for another 6 months
. Though I'm going to Japan in Feb, I'm hesitant to buy one there because of the warranty situation.
