$1899. Sounds a bit expensive. Although not an apples-to-apples comparison, Apple’s MacBook Air with a 13.3″ LED backlit LCD goes for $1799. Of course, Lenovo did have to shrink things a bit more to squeeze everything into a box that houses a much smaller LCD at just 11.1″ diagonal. Up to a certain point, smaller is more expensive. But the interesting thing is that Sony’s exceptionally small TZ series notebook PCs also start at $1799.98, which is about $100 cheaper. Does Lenovo think that it’s got something more special than a comparable Sony?
