    It's weight

    Design, functions, a lot actually !

AUD 3,999? Absolutely an over-pricing machine. Only a genius would buy this semi plastic laptop.

    Weight, Chassis, Screen

    Price, External Graphics Chipset, Trackpad

There should be no compromises for a $4000 laptop.

Screen bezel is too wide.

Track pad is too small and rough.

A dedicated graphics chipset should have been included in main laptop. I.e. Nvidia 560m gtx with Optimus technology for battery saving option.

The space saved from removing the optical drive has not been fully utilised. I.e. They should have included a second SSD drive (Especially for the price).

The Blu Ray Burner is welcome. Although why not implement a slot style drive ala Mac book Pro to reduce size.

I really hope that Sony goes back to making the all-in-one no compromise Z notebook. Such as the previous model.

  • Pros
    Weight, Specs, Backlit keyboard, anti-glare
  • Cons
    Keyboard, Price

I want one so bad beacuse it's so light, but it sucks that the Australian version is $4,000!

At least the US have an option of a $3,000 or $2,000 model (which I'd buy in a heartbeat!)
