Comments on: Asus joins the sleek with 13.3-inch laptop

The U3's 13.3-inch display size hits a sweet spot between portability and usability, and its 3.9-pound weight straddles the line between ultraportable and thin-and-light.

"the Asus U3 joins the Apple MacBook and the Sony VAIO CZ in the ranks of sleek-looking 13.3-inch laptops"
I guess it would be more acuratte if you said it joins Dell's XPS M1330 and Sony VAIO SZ in the ranks of sleek-looking 13.3-inch laptops.
Why? Because of discreet graphics.
I'm thinking of waiting for this one to be released... despite the lack of a integrated DVD Burner, which is a big minus, this could be also good for battery life and weight.
I was going to buy a M1330 today, but local Dell store just pull off the discreet graphics options... I still don't know why, and I don't want the laptop with integrated sh*tty graphics.

You must mean FZ series, Michelle. There is no Vaio CZ series.

The CZ exists! In the rumor mill, at least:

But it would indeed be more accurate to say the VAIO SZ, which is the existing 13.3-inch VAIO model. The text has been corrected.
and don't foreget Toshiba
