The DJ buttons on the front look like they have been pinched off some mid 80's Marantz Hi-Fi I used to own
Yeah no kidding, since it seems to be this one that Arima was showing off at their booth at CES (that Plaghe got a picture of)

Yeah, I got to play with this laptop and it's real nice. It's not as hot as the BenQ Joybook 6000. Benq's entire line is wide aspect and much more solid than the Sony and Samsung IMHO.

The 64-bit probably indicates the memory controller is single channelled.

This page seems to indicate that the Sony FS70 is available with a WSXGA Xbrite display in Japan:

Is it too much to ask whether it will be available here?

BenQ Preempts Intel's Sonoma Launch
Vendor's announcement of new Centrino notebooks is slightly early.
Sumner Lemon, IDG News Service
Tuesday, January 18, 2005

BenQ on Monday announced plans to release three Joybook notebook PC models based on Intel's next-generation Centrino platform, code-named Sonoma, two days ahead of Intel's official introduction of the platform.

Sonoma is the second version of Intel's Centrino platform and includes new versions of the Pentium M mobile processor, a new wireless chip, and a new chip set, code-named Alviso, that offers greatly improved graphics performance and support for PCI Express.

Intel is scheduled to hold press conferences in several countries later this week to officially introduce the Sonoma platform.

BenQ's announcement, which was dated January 17, was not intended to preempt Intel's own announcement of the new platform. "We were actually supposed to launch this at the same as Intel did their launch," said Albert Lin, a spokesperson for BenQ, describing the early release of the statement as a mix-up.

System Specs
According to the BenQ announcement, the company plans to ship three notebook PCs based on Sonoma in February. The three models are the Joybook S52, Joybook S72, and Joybook A82. All three models include widescreen displays, the company says.

The S52 is a thin-and-light design with a 13-inch widescreen display that is targeted at small and medium-sized businesses. The S72 is also a thin-and-light design but comes with a 14-inch widescreen display, a remote control that can also be used as a laser pointer, and a design that better dissipates heat generated by the computer's internal components, BenQ says.

The A82 is intended to function as a replacement for a desktop computer and caters to users looking for a notebook PC that offers multimedia capabilities, BenQ says. The A82 sports 15.4-inch widescreen display, a remote control that can do double duty as a laser pointer, and SRS 3-D surround sound, it says.

The three Sonoma-based Joybook models will be available in China and Taiwan during February and are expected to be available in Europe before the middle of this year, Lin says. Pricing for all three models was not immediately available.

Reached for comment about BenQ's announcement, Intel spokesperson Georgine Lin says PC vendors are bound not to disclose certain information about Intel products prior to their announcement. However, Lin had not seen the BenQ announcement and could not comment on whether it had exceeded an agreement not to disclose information related to Sonoma.

Intel had originally planned to introduce Sonoma last year but the platform was delayed because of production problems with the Alviso chip set. That delay appears to have had little impact on vendors' enthusiasm for the new platform.

Earlier this month, Intel said it expects to see PC vendors introduce around 80 Sonoma-based notebooks this month, with the total number of Sonoma-based systems to reach 150 by the end of the year. That exceeds Intel's earlier expectations, revealed in April of last year, that vendors would initially offer 50 Sonoma-based notebook PCs.

I'm hoping to see a nice Sonoma Sony Vaio S-Type with a decent (for Sony at least) price point in the next nine months or so.

Sony makes some real nice stuff, it’s a shame they have such high prices.

Next 9 months? That's pretty pessimistic. I'd hope for something along the lines of the next 9 days.
