I know there has been a couple of threads covering this when it was first released to the public….

But, this is the first time I seen cnet tell us what the think about the TR’s replacement….I don’t agree with everything they say on here but its interesting to read…neverless.

Apparently they don’t know much about the TR:

Gone is the VAIO TR’s built-in Motion Eye camera; the consolation is a flash card reader that’s compatible with Memory Stick Pro media only. .

I could swear the TR has a Memory Stick Pro Media reader as well rolleyes

So what’s the consolation for losing the camera again?

It’s like wierd marketing crap…To get people to buy the T’s….I don’t get it….Maybe sony paid them to right that crap… :evil:

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks they are full of it…

OMG- you are right….lets all sell our TR’s on ebay and get T’s….We know we want to….Or we could just put a piece of duck tape over our camera’s and spray paint our TR’s black… LOL

I just sent the following comment to CNet:

In your review of the Sony VAIO T series notebooks, you claim that "the consolation [for the missing webcam] is a flash card reader that's compatible with Memory Stick Pro", but the TR also has a Memory Stick Pro reader. Also, you claim that the T series would be more powerful and has some added key features compared to the TR series. However, in reality, the specifications for the T series and the latest TR series notebooks are exactly the same and I can make out absolutely no feature addition to the T series, just one *missing* feature: the webcam. So how can it be that "Sony's VAIO T series picks up where the TR left off, offering more power, convenience", as you write (actual quote)?
