I know it’s “ungeeky” to favor design over price but I don’t feel as comfortable writing on an “ugly” machine or using an “ugly” gadget as I would using one with a good design. I love Apple’s machines, I really enjoy the iPod and the best equivalent in terms of machine design in the “Windows world” are the Sony machines. Even if I’m paying just for the Sony brand, there’s something about their laptops and gadgets that attract everyone.

This new laptop series doesn’t fall short in terms of design compared to any other Sony Laptop in the market, from the early pictures they seem to be a mix between my FS series and an S series. Since looks aren’t everything a few specs have been upgraded, such as the RAM, which is now DDR2 and features a 14.1″ monitor. For me, the monitor enough is a big reason to choose a Vaio laptop over any other, with Samsung close in the same department.

Another “feature” is also obviously the wide range of colors you can choose from, the white one looks great but I’m not so sure about green…

So basically if you fancy Apple’s looks but are stuck with Windows’ (dis)functionality, a Vaio laptop is the closest thing you’ll get to a Powerbook in this realm.
