    No, it's never a wrong choice, but buying a Sony anything is always a bad choice because Sony's unethical business practise is far more severe than any other company.
    I love sony, stuff is durable... at least it has been for me, maybe I'm just lucky, lol.

    Here is the closest competitor to the MacBook Air in both form and function...If you guys want to compare price, use a comparable product. This thin laptop from IBM for example:

    the Dell XT is a ripoff.
    Only if the unit is bought in single purchases rather than multiple quantities. The capacitive touch/digital pen screen with outdoor viewable lighting is cutting edge technology.

    Cutting edge, maybe, but considering the pathetically weak specs, the pathetically low practicality (have you seen even ONE program that makes use of the multi-touch yet? I certainly haven't), and the half-year shunning of its own potential customers (I myself was one), I'd say it's a pretty big ripoff.

    Although I'm certainly glad that Dell entered the market with this new N-Trig stuff, I'm looking forward to the TabletPC market getting a bit more competitive now that every big player has at least one model out.

    Ive always thought dell to be a low-quality company. Unless u buy one of their high-end laptops ($1000 +) i think ur gunna get a pretty crappy product. I would rather go with something from toshiba, sony or apple.

    I dunno. I remember seeing one of the warranties dell offers that basically allows you to do anything to your laptop and still send it in for repairs. You can drop it off a building if you want. As long as you don't have obvious intentional damage ie: "hammer marks", they cover it.
