General Comments
This is an exceptionally expensive fashion statement but judging from the success of Apple's other over-priced fashion statements (iPhone and iPods) this may be a success.
It has a weak processor (1.6 in the cheaper model 1.8 in the top model) at the heart of it's inferior components. The screen isn't x-black or HD giving inferior picture quality to other laptops that are far cheaper. There is no internal disc drive so you have to carry an external drive with you to read media.
With the better model costing over £2000 and not achieving the level of say an £800 Sony Vaio there should be no reason to buy this notebook but I would almost guarantee people will flock to do so.

Fractalhorizon's Response to azzers's Review
Written on: 22/01/2010
I found this review not helpful because...
<br/>From the very first sentence this "review" is extremely biased. It does not appear that the reviewer has used the machine at all. Claims are generic and unsubstantiated. The screen isn't x-black? Of course not, x-black is a trade mark of Sony. Not HD? 1280x800 more than enough to fit 720p or 1080i picture, and there are NO 1080p size screens of this size in existence yet. A top of the line model (with 128G SSD drive) costs $1799 USD (or 1100 pounds). Where did a reviewer get the 2000 pound price? A comparable VAIO with 128G SSD costs about 1200 pounds. This so called review is nothing more but a smear job.
