[ndwgolf]

Yep,
I have take the plung and sold my MBA and I am going to buy a new Sony Vaio Z, any comments..................please be nice??
I will give the reasons later

I would have sold the MBA as well (I'd never have bought one really)... but I'd be going a MBP, yet alone a MB before the MBA.
As for the choice of the Sony, rather than comments, I have the big WHY?

Because it weighs the same as the MBA and it is sweet, but the main reason is that I need windows and dont want to Bootcamp the mac

Hmmm... The MBP's aren't that much heavier, and you can always run VM instead of Bootcamp!
I'm guessing there is something else at play here (that is a question)
You don't want to wait until the next gen (not too long now) of MBP's come out before you make your decision?

Basically I am a "toy man" I love my toys and have a house full of Apple goodies;
1/. 24" iMac
2/. MBP (Sold)
3/. iPhone 3Gs
4/. Nexus One (for sale)
Blaa Blaaa Blaaa
I plan to get the iPad as well as soon as I get back home so no need for the MBP

Anyway the real reason I am getting this Sony is;
1/. My company is taking back my PC laptop so I need a PC in my house as I have alot of programs that need windows to run them on (example Suunto Dive master logbook)
2/. My company has webmail that can only be accessed on a PC computer. I cannot access it using (safari, firefox, google crome) from a Mac but can get it via any of the above using a PC
3/. I like the look of the Sony Z series and they have great reviews, plus I love watching movies and Blue Ray rocks

That's gotta be the most straight forward answer I've had in at least 30yrs
How can I say anything more than "I hear you"?
