Official Sony S11/S12/S13 (2010) Owners Thread

Can you make more photos of your notebook? Or maybe a video?

How are the perfomance? And do you already have tried the WIDI?

[maxxed]

I'll repeat the previously stated battery life question.

Im hoping that the silence is not because it has a <3hr usable life.

[hackbart]

Since it has WiDi, that limits it to three Intel wireless cards;
Advanced-N 6200, Advanced N + WiMax 6250 or Ultimate N6300

Thanks. I'm not up to speed on WiDi yet so I didn't know that.

Yeah it's the Advanced-N 6200 in mine

Good deal, I was hoping it had 5GHz.

I haven't really tested that yet, but I'm guessing it's in the 5ish range.

I dropped by Best Buy (Union Square, NYC) and low and behold, they had the S-Series there.

The tag for the computer advertises 5 hours of Battery Life.

Why would the S have switchable graphics? That would give people one more reason not to spend the extra money on a Z.

You forget there are other brands making notebooks.

From the top of my head the Z will still stand out with its (larger) SSDs, the 330m graphics card, much better screen and the auto switching stuff. There probably is more, but it's late and I'm too tired to really think much. :P These are pretty interesting aspects and make the Z rather unique.

This is a circular link - lol

They got their information from this thread. The pictures and everything came from the guy who bought it (Dubbs?) from Bestbuy by telling them they had it in their warehouse and he wanted it

Now that is amusing. I think the news people sit here and read these posts all day long to get their stories.

Yep, this is how Engadget gets their info, nothing they post is original. Just look at the source and the end of each post. Still, it's nice to have a concise location for tech news.

[dubbs]

haha yeah, never thought I'd make the front page of Engadget, one of my fav tech/gadget blogs

[ghengber]

I think a list of the Best Buy stores/areas selling the NEW Sony S-Series laptops EARLY would be really helpful and otherwise help appease those of who are dying to get our hands on this lsptop.

How about if dubbs gets us started on the list since he got the first one,
