“The VAIO AR has the ability to capture, edit and record in HD on a notebook PC right out of the gate,” said Mike Abary, vice president of VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics in the U.S.

It gets even better...


Quote:
In addition to supporting HD playback, the VAIO AR notebook is a multimedia powerhouse with the capability to record high-definition camcorder content to Blu-ray Discs. Now aspiring moviemakers can shoot, edit and burn their HD creation on a PC -- all in native 1080 resolution.
Available this summer according to the Sony website.

From the literature, it appears Sony doesn't include an expresscard slot. Big mistake if this is going to be an HD recording setup.
Everything else sounds cool though.

Why would someone need/want an ExpressCard slot?

By the way, the posted specifications list one PCMCIA slot and one ExpressCard slot:

Yep, Sony was smart and included ExpressCard and PCMCIA - something Apple could have learned from for the 17" macbook. >)

Why would someone want an ExpressCard slot? Uh, because that's the next standard, dude. PCMCIA doesn't have the bandwidth to handle what ExpressCard can. And yes, there's already SATA2 RAID controllers, SCSI controllers and more available for ExpressCard interfaces.
