  have a look at this then
  
  
  
  The Metro Notebook, a collaborative effort from Intel and Ziba Design, is being touted as the worldÂ’s thinnest notebook. Measuring just 0.7" (1.8cm) thick and weighing only 2.25 pounds (1.1kg), it's just a tad more cumbersome than the Motorola RAZR. This notebook features a number of wireless technologies -- such as Wi-Fi, WiMax and cellular network chips -- to keep you connected to the web 24/7.
  
  available end 2007
  
  p.s. that brown circle on the right? that's the american penny or 1cent coin for reference

  Luvaglio Million-Dollar Laptop
  The luxury notebook includes a 17-inch backlit screen with a special anti-reflective coating, a 128GB Solid State Disk Drive, and a Blu-ray drive, along with built in USB memory stick and MP3 player, and not to forget the diamond encrusted power button. And, for more royalty, the laptop will be finished to the ownerÂ’s choice of precious metals, leathers and real woods. Besides the laptop is completely upgradeable, so you can further pimp it out!

  i've got the sz43. yeah its true that sony vaio comes with a greater price. no doubt the looks are great, i would recommend buying it if you arent running any heav applications, just light ones such as messenger, microsoft office and/ IE. the battery life for sz series is comparatively better, lasting about 5hours minimum on stamina mode, and its light too, at about 1.8kg

  i doubt u have the Sz43
  1.8kg,min 5 hrs on stam mode...ur reading everything off the specs table.
  
  Although the official manual says it runs on 6 hrs while on stamina mode,it is nothing of that sort.
  mine only run on 2.44hrs on staimna mode and at max battery

  If u want zhai lappy but dont hava a thight budget u might as well go to alienware.com and customize a laptop.
  
  On the other hand i think why most people prefer Sony/Fujitsu over acer is due to where the parts of the lappy is made/ assembled. Acer = malaysia, Sony/ Fujutsu = Japan.
