lol i love it when he opens the vaoi x and the music in the background changes to a song i think is off shrek. kind of like a magic sound for a magic laptop.

Haha, I just noticed that too. It's funny to shoot video inside the SonyStyle store, there is so much ambient noise from people and devices! We try and turn it all down but there is always something making noise. lol

would of like to have seen some video playback on the device. Some people (apple fan boys) have been griping that it would play video choppy... I personally wouldnt care that much considering i would only use this for trips when i have to pack lite or just to have in the house when i want to peruse the net. I have other computers that i use for more demanding stuff like music and video production and gaming. Love the colors though, very luxurious in a sense.

Video playback was a little choppy with YouTube, but we were at the mercy of a wireless connection that wasn't that great. I've also heard that Flash 10.1 has improved flash video playback considerably on netbooks like these.

The production quality of your videos is the best I've seen in terms of hardware review vids on youtube. I wouldn't worry too much about anyone complaining :)

This computer is amazing in terms of how thin it is. However, what Sony put inside of it doesn't make sense in terms of the price. Why on earth would I spend 1400+ on this, or even the Vaio P which goes up to around two grand, for an intel atom platform? I'm not a mac fan by any means, but considering the mac air has core 2 duo, there's no reason Vaio X doesn't for the price they are charging.

@Matfred2007 Cheap??? It's over $1k so I wouldn't say cheap at all!

[Matfred2007]

dude, this is just a cheap copy of the macbook air

Btw I was listening to mp3, music video ( Led Zep The Song Remains The Same concert - complete concert video), then finished my powerpoint presentation. I used Monster Dr Beats "STUDIO" High Definition noise cancelling headphones on this Vaio X signature. I never expirienced flying on a business with this much pleasure with 14 hours of juice.

At first I was opting for MAC AIR but it does not have enough battery from Detroit to Tokyo so mac is hands down useless at this point. Then came this Sony X series. Running on an Atom Intel, fires up 30 minutes upon reaching 26,000 ft, turned it off several times during food serving & restrm, then turned it off 30 minutes to landing at Narita, Japan all consumed 85% of battery. Who the hell would say no to that. HP ENVY series night be a good challerger, I cant think of anything else

@DJTEVAdotCOM because sony is WAY more reliable than dell

[G1NZOU]

@bmw2go11 Ha ha, neither would I.

Maybe I should ask Sony to do one.

Probably wouldn't listen too me, although you never know.

[bmw2go11]

@G1NZOU i have 4 vaio laptops, a 05' desktop (vgc-rb40) and several all-on-ones laying around because of faulty motherboards.. i would take the risk and butcher my x black,... i love it too much ;)

[bmw2go11]

@redz220 OSx86 my friend ;) breaks the barrier of mac and pc

ultimate computer= vaio x gold + dual boot; win7 + OSx86

[G1NZOU]

@bmw2go11 He'd do it, make a botch job of it but he'd do it.

Luckily I don't think he'll ever have enough money to buy Vaio stuff.
