Just wondering what it is? You can see that it's a laptop, but why all the hype? What could be different about it? Any ideas?

I can't tell. That's just the sort of annoying flash junk that I can's stand!

It's... mysterious... All I could see was a big, green power button on the first video.

By the way, Flash is amazing not junk! It allows smooth graphic transitions and interfaces with a very small file footprint!

Also rumoured to be a "new device for plugging in digital video stuff directly." -- from my friend.

<shrug> We'll see maybe on part 3? :P

Definitely, it looks great.

That is actually Sony's U-series line, very cool as well.

It is the U? I didn't realize that's what it looked like... :)

Ok, so I think this hyped-up Sony laptop is the newest one with the Centrino processor. It's here.

But then again, 13 hours of battery life with an extended battery... 8O

Actually in Japan there already are Sharps and Toshibas that manage 12 houres on a standard battery.
