I felt it here in GA. Thanks. - Russellreno
A Sony AW110J 18.4" screen. Looking for a link... - Josh Haley
No link even on Sony's site. I knew it was new, but sheesh. This is a decent pic/description http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/ar... - Josh Haley
18.4" screen??? Wow, guess you're not planning on actually carrying that thing around much? =) - saeba
But it's really going to be my wife's laptop. :( She needs to work from every corner of the house where the baby is. - Josh Haley
So buying a Sony laptop helps the US economy? Dell, HP or Apple are more likely to, right? :-) - Louis Gray
@saeba...It's not so much about hiking it around town or a school or anything, so we wanted a big screen. The 18.4 is really a extra wide 17". Kinda weird but cool. True 16:9 ratio for movies too :) - Josh Haley
I wouldn't mind doing my part and buying a Macbook Air!!! - Niall Connellan
Wow that's huge. It's nice it has Blu-Ray and a HDMI port. - Rodfather
Dangit LG! I guess we gotta take it back. I helped at least one American with a commission at Fry's. At least I think he was American. ;) - Josh Haley
We have no HDTV at this point, so it will have to play discs locally. Never touched a blu-ray disc before. - Josh Haley
Josh - Seriously doubt anyone knows who's making what where anymore (or to which country the money is actually flowing). The only thing I'd be sweating is those VAIO's are VERY proprietary. You're pretty much captive to Sony if anything goes wrong. Most others are staying closer to what hardware and software standards we do actually have. - Charlie Anzman
Like cars, even domestic PCs have most of their components made offshore. - Phil Wolff

Charlie - thanks for the heads up. I chose to buy locally and have 14 days to return it if I don't like it. - Josh Haley
Agree with the local buy strongly. Hey, they're awesome boxes at current prices but pretty heavily locked down. - Charlie Anzman
Good work, Josh! - Pete Delucchi
:D - Nishant
I spent nearly $500 yesterday... but most of that will benefit the Canadian economy. Sorry. - Stewart Rogers
My wife bought a $300 easel for her painting yesterday. And we ate out for brunch and dinner. Just doing my part to keep myself deep in debt! - Robert Fischer
