According to Darryl Okahata: > The sleek VAIOs are attractive, but the lack of a built-in CDROM > drive was what killed it for me. However, if you don't need a CDROM > drive, it's a great laptop. I decided that as a FreeBSD only machine, the builtin ethernet port on the 'Z' VAIOs was enough and the lack of a builtin CD-ROM wasn't. The small factor of my Z505SX is more important for me than the screen resolution (although 1024x768x16 on this 12.1" is nice). Having carried two Tadpole laptops (SPARCbooks) a few years ago, I certainly prefer a lighter laptop :) YMMV of course. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #78: Sun Feb 27 15:32:39 CET 2000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
