The MBAs are purrty though, no doubt about that. I still don't understand why PC vendors don't up their aesthetic appeal, though Sony at least tries.
You got me there. I needed that 1394 port last month and was .....ing up a storm when I didn't have it.

Also couldn't help but notice that the new 2.6lb Vaio Z series is lacking an internal DVD drive, and costs a good $500 more than the similarly equipped MBA...Compromises, compromises...
