A couple of weeks ago, I decided that I needed a new laptop. I didn't really need a new laptop, but I get these little urges that tell me some new piece of equipment is going to allow me to virtually plug a PC into my head and make it really easy to think with the thing the way I want.
So I ended up buying a Sony TR3. My dream is to have a full blow PC with me at all times that's both easy to carry and that serves me as a sort of high-end multimedia player. The TR3 weighs three pounds and I'm getting about 4-5 hours of battery life and so I think it's working out well.
The funny thing is that I was really torn between this machine and the 64-bit Acer Ferrari laptop. I finally decided that I didn't really rate a Ferrari, and that I would look a little silly with one of those. If it had been blue and said Ford on it, I probably would have gone for it.
For what it's worth, I ended up finding a great community site for TR3 owners. Funny how important that sort of thing is becoming to me as I make purchases.

Hey Jeff,
It seems to work great for most things. Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 work fine and I use a VM to run Visual C++ 2005 Express and that works fine also. I have a couple of more powerful machines and this one can't really touch them for speed, but it sure is easy to carry this around.
The thing this laptop really needs is a bigger and faster hard drive. It uses some sort of half-pint hard drive and I'm going to swap it out as soon as I can find something a little bigger and faster. :)
I'm also running a lot of bluetooth stuff with this. For now I'm using a dongle but I'm hoping to install the bluetooth module that's available on the Japanese models. You can find a description of what that entails here:

One of my friends went and ordered the same machine as me from e-cost when he saw this. I hope he likes it as much as I do.
Cheers,
Brian
