Actually his MBP is 7lb and that was his critical spec that it had to be a 7 pounder or less.

His other primary spec was screen size....he wanted a 17" screen.

For whatever reason, other computer manufacturers look at >17" laptops as desktop replacements so weight goes way down on their list of objectives. Most 17" laptops are behemoths.

That would personally be fine, but WLD has different criteria.

>>Actually his MBP is 7lb and that was his critical spec that it had to be a 7 pounder or less. The Sony is 6.9lb with a hell of a lot more hardware than his MBP<<

I forgot to mention earlier that, just for the record, the 17" MacBook Pro weighs 6.6 pounds, not 7. And its .98 inches thick as opposed to 1.6" for the Sony.

I like the eSATA port on the Sony, though. We'll see if the next revision of the MBPs have that.
