For the naysayers: just because its not what you want, doesn't mean nobody else has use for it. You think it's overpowered? wtf are you talking about, this is XS.
This is the perfect ultra portable workstation, especially for tasks such as 3d content creation, video editing, compositing etc.
1920*1080 display? its an option. and a useful one for the same tasks mentioned above.
And lets not forget the graphics card. gt330m may not be high end to standards here, but its unheard of in a 13 inch laptop, and more than good enough for some mobile gaming.
As for battery life, 2 hours? Please. Sony rates the standard battery at up to 7.5 hours, 7 with max brightness, and up to 3.5 hours of dvd playback. Sure, these are likely exaggerated, but i'm sure you could still get a good 5 or 6 hours of normal usage with it. That's without even mentioning the optional extended battery rated at up to 11 hours.

And for those of you concerned about usb3 or even firewire, it has an express card slot, so you can easily add it yourself.

I think you can see now why I will be getting one of these as soon as I can, It is the first laptop I know of where there is no compromise on size, battery life, power(both cpu and gpu), and weight (3.07 lbs). The only real downside is the price, but for what you are getting, I think it is well worth it.
