Wow, cool. A Sony Vaio Netbook selling for $2500? I wonder what's so special about this Netbook.

I mean, even Apple, a brand I associate with expensive, has similar stuff for cheaper price. Funny that.

1148122 2010-10-27 09:13:00 64GB SSD probably has something to do with it - good flash storage isn't cheap. Erayd (23)
1148123 2010-10-27 10:14:00 VAIOs are not cheap, they're very popular, it's a bit of a fashoin statement i think, if you have an acer, and the guy next to you has a vaio, guess who's gonna get the girl. the dude with the vaio. jareemon (5207)
1148124 2010-10-27 10:17:00 Also, you'll notice this vaio is very slim and light, meaning the parts are indeed smaller than most netbooks, thus more expensive. Being a sony vaio, the build quality is premium, probably with an expensive magnesium chassis. Add to this the retailer's markup and you've just blown your wad.

She'll probably go for the one who's actually looking at her (i.e. the one without a computer) :p

When she knows he is looking at her she will know she has the upper hand and ignore him, ripping her clothes off and jumping on the dude with the vaio.

1148127 2010-10-27 20:41:00 Ha! Bond and Bond = FAIL .

Even Ascent (who are not the cheapest around) have this model priced at $1999 . 95, a full $500 cheaper!

Admittedly, they don't have any stock at the moment, but I would be extremely surprised if new stock at Ascent was priced anywhere near the Bond and Bond price . . . .

1148129 2010-10-28 04:01:00 Wow, more expensive than a Mac. Sony must have done something wrong. Then again Macs are getting cheaper.
