I, for one, am not in favor of all of these new sections. Granted many more people may own these laptops compared to smaller vendors that have a share here on the forums (e.g. Alienware), but I think it eliminates a very nice component of the "Notebook General" area; honest comparison. I can just imagine how brand diehards (whether it be Sony, Asus, Acer, etc) not giving people honest enough comparison because they are posting in a brand specific forum (e.g. a person interested in Sony, HP, IBM, and Acer post asking to compare three notebooks in the Sony forums - perhaps because he is leaning towards a Sony notebook or needs more info in it in particular - but the danger is he gets the most opinions from people who inherently prefer Sony).
