I find their laptops to be completely lacking power. For a company that builds everything "uber" powerful, their strongest laptop line-up has CPU only up to Core 2 Duo 7500? I mean wtf.
I wanted to buy their laptop as I do creative work and it was either AR Sony or Mac Book Pro. Well as I can't get enough juice out of these, I went with Mac Book Pro.
I really prefer a less speedy notebook since the battery will last longer if it isnt sitting there revved up to 12,000 RPM's while Im typing a word document
Joey: you know modern processors can scale the frequency down when not stressed, right? My relatively old Thinkpad gets 1 hour at full speed and 2.5 hours with scaling.

They are going to offer higher speced processors on the Build-to-order models.
The thing I am frustrated about is the lack of a docking station.
