Today, Sony made two big announcements: the new AR series laptop that's equipped with an integrated Blu-Ray recordable drive, and the UX Series UMPC. The AX laptop will have a 17-inch XBRITE screen with a native resolution of 1920x1200, the Intel Core Duo T2500, and 2GB of RAM; The UX will weigh 1.2 pounds, sport a 4.5-inch touchscreen that slides upwards, and a wireless WAN cellular modem.

$3,499 for the Blu-Ray laptop, and $1,799 for the handheld, according to the Sony store. Such is the price of the bleeding edge :)
A mere bargain, considering that the laptop has two 100 Gig hard drives hooked up in a raid 0 config and an Intel Duo chip with 2 gig of memory....a mere $3500 ...shipoment starts in June.
BLEEDING EDGE BUMP.
I'll wait until AT LEAST version 3 come out before even considering it.
MacBook or this... I'd take the blueray.
