The model is FJ, saw it today at SonyStyle dot ca. They aren’t pushing the motion eye as a major feature like they did with the TR. More of a web cam and video capture for blogging and for chat.

BUt like the T, it comes in different flavourful colors like, “Rasberry Red” (no seriously, thats what they are calling it) and blue. The U.S has more color choices than Canada.

If we could only convince them that there’s a market for the TR, maybe they’d bring back the TR!

Hi

I think this laptop is oversized, compare to what I am looking for when I buy a laptop. Nice to have the Webcam, but the TR’s charm is in its size, and looks as well as it being a powerful machine for its compact-ness.

I would not go for this VAIO just for the webcam.

Especially if it won’t last very long. Wouldn’t it suck to buy a laptop mainly for a feature that soon “goes away”? Or is the webcam in this model a better one?

I have no idea about the webcam on this model, but for how much Sony ignored the TR’s defect, this one might just be the same exact hardware:) lol. Pretty ridiculous of Sony.

Anyways, I just got a used TR3/SP, and the camera is reported to be working, but I will be sure of that when the thing arrives. For a used thing that costs 1/3 of what a new would cost, we can overlook the extra 150 USD spending for the replacement…. But for a new laptop? No way…
