Oh and US buyers via the Sony Style website can also get 30% off all accessories for a limited time! Normal cost $130 for the extended battery...

Oh and just noticed, all is on a pre-order basis...

Sony Style has a "low cost" variant with 3G and a standard HDD (no SSD) for £849 - still wildly pricey, rising to £969 with a 60GB SSD and topping out at £1370 with a 129GB SSD.

£1,368.99??????? Sony have lost touch with reality. My VAIO VGN-Z11WN/B laptop only cost £100 more and that's a fully featured mobile powerhouse.

Well, the pricing has shot this one out the water. The HDD variant seems to be (in effect) a fairly low powered netbook with a very nice screen - but we're charged around £500-550 for the screen? Erm. Next...

Well it's simple, this is not a netbook. Sony are not trying to compete with the "race to the bottom". They've made a gorgeous and incredibly light machine (this is what, half the weight of any netbook) that is aimed at the fashion concious business man or woman. 2 years ago this would have been double the price it is now, netbooks have at least brought us that benefit. I'm happy with my Samsung NC10 and won't be 'upgrading' to this or any of the other nice new netbooks coming out at least til the summer, but this is tempting.

@HK, 2 years ago there wasn't a thing call a recession. That pricing is pure madness, any business man or woman buying this will have to answer some hard questions from the finance department. :-)

@HK ... exactly. If your first response is 'a £200 netbook can do all that', then you are not Sony's target market.

I bought a Sony TZ out of my own money ... yeah it was way expensive and a £300 Dell dual core is faster and a quarter of the price, but that's not the point. I bought it on size and battery life, and i'll probably buy one of these if I stumble across a Sony centre whilst in the need for a fix. There are a lot of people out there for whom £500 is not a ridiculous amount of money and the style / convenience / bragging rights / nice colour on the lid will part them from their cash quite easily. Just like a whole ton of people have bought EEEs and Aspire Ones when they admit they didn't need it because they already had a full-size laptop, but well, they wanted it ...
