The article features the laptops and wrist computers available in the U.S. market in September 2004. The author claims that Sony makes some of the coolest toys in technology. not the toughest ones, or the ones he want most to support as an information technology manager, but Sony does style better than anyone else. The TR3A Picturebook laptop is a case in point. Sony's latest Picturebook still includes a VGA camera, though the author claims that he'd take a little more vertical screen space and gladly give it up, but it also has a new high resolution display and a built-in optical drive. If users buy one in the store the best they can get is the CDRW/DVD version, but they can order the killer combo TRA5AP with DVD-RW drive online at SonyStyle. If they need the DVD burning capability, the $2999 price tag might not put them off, but if they can do without it, they can buy the base unit for $2199.99 with 512 MB RAM CD-RW/DVD drive. The author states that the Lifebook 2300 laptop computer from Fujitsu, which costs about $1,500, gives users a lot of notebook: one nearly 13 inches wide, 11.25 inches deep and weighing in at just under eight pounds. Battery life is less than spectacular, with an estimate of a bit over two hours, though the high capacity battery will double that. The n3 Smart Watch from Sunto starts out as a good idea and grows on users. Even without the network upgrades, the idea that a watch should be programmable makes great sense. Basically, it's a low-res display on the wrist.
