Sony 'A' Series Shipping!

Just received shipping confirmation from SonyStyle.com that my A170 is on it's way and due to arrive on Tuesday, June 8th. If there is any interest out there, I will provide more information (as time permits) as I unpack, setup and begin use. Computer configuration is as follows:

Intel® Pentium® M Processor 1.7A GHz
17" WUXGA TFT with Wireless LAN and Bluetooth Technology
1 GB (DDR333, 512 MBx2)
80 GB (5400rpm
DVD+-RW Drive
Microsoft® Windows XP Professional
AV Dock

 

I went to a local CompUSA store to have a first look at the A190, and I have to say I'm very impressed. First I thought that the screen wasn't really bright until I realized that brightness was on 'auto'. If you turn it all the way up it's extremely bright, and the colors are very vivid. The aspect ratio for pictures is correct, and this notebook looks great. The keyboard is fine too.

The shipment date for my A170 is the 9th. I'm so looking forward to receiving it.

 

hey MWSony, we'd definitely be interested to hear back on your thoughts of this notebook as you have time to play with it. Please let us know what your initial impressions are after you get the time!
