Sony VAIO® FW Series vs HP HDX16 Series.
Which do you guys feel is better?

I'm looking at it in terms of:
1. Processing power.
2. Graphic card
3. Design
4. Misc (Webcam, speakers, keyboards, screen)

HDX16 clearly have and advantage on its graphic card but I dislike its design (Can I have HP HDX16 spec in Sony design case? lol)
In terms of processing power, I notice that FW will have a cap at 800mhz on it's bus memory and it's best utilize with ddr2 not ddr3. I couldn't get much info on HDX16 yet. Any info will be great.

An interesting topic that has been playing in my mind since Intel launch its new chipset Centrino 2.
How do you think it will fare with AMD's Puma?

Sony VAIO® FW Series

Sony VAIO® FW Series are currently not available in Malaysia but it's looks really good, particular with it's 16.4 inch screen and ATI® Radeon HD 3400.
The only down side I heard is that it's web cam is well below par.

Standard FW features:

* Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor (up to 2.8GHz) with Centrino® 2 technology
* 16.4" widescreen HD display, 6.4 pounds
* Up to 4GB of configurable RAM
* Available DVD± RW, BD Read Only, or Blu-ray™ RW drive
* Up to 5 hours standard battery life
* Built in 1.3 megapixel camera and microphone
* HDMI™ output
* Optional ATI graphics card, 256MB vRAM

If you try to customize a machine on the US Sony website, you can get quite a high spec notebook with less than RM5k.

I wonder how much will it cost when it arrive in Malaysia.

What do you think of this machine?
