Hmm yea, that is pretty impressive. Nice. And that price will be a pretty big wack in the face also. :-(

I like Sony laptops though, once you get rid of or disable all that bloat and crapware.
Laptop with 4 SSDs in RAID0? Do want.

Sony VAIO? Don't want.

Wow…. what a loverly looking high spec machine.

Shame the price tag will be insaine, and 13inch is just too small for me, its between ultra-portable and able to sit and code at.

That said if they put in one of them loverly 100% aRGB screens. Its just brilliant hardware.

Then they will crap it up with shedloads of software :(
1920x1080 on 13 inch screen? Well that's silly.
1920x1080 on a 13.3" machine, that's just too small. I think 1600x900 is pushing it, but should be a sweetspot for a highend machine. Who's going to use 1920x1080 at native res. That's meant for one thing only: HD, which is pointless on this screen.
