Which is which???

As of this writing, I'm playing around with my new baby (Sony VAIO NR260E/W). Mestiza siya (white color kaya medyo dumihin, dugyutin pa naman ako) at malaking bulas (15.4-inch widescreen, 6.2lb). I'm about to put her pic here using my camera phone via infra-red kaso wala siya nun. Via Bluetooth? Wala rin siya nun. Kaya naman bigla akong napaisip kung aangkinin ko ba 'tong batang 'to, o ipa-upgrade ko na lang si T42. Kasi kung magpapalit ka lang din ng bago, e di yung kumpleto na. Pero kung magbubugbugan itong dalawa, medyo panalo ang mas bata, este mas bago.

Round 1: Processor
Vaio (Core Duo T2330 1.6Ghz) vs. T42 (Single 1.7Ghz) - Vaio won

Round 2: Hardisk

Round 3: Memory
Vaio (2gb) vs. T42 (1gb) - Vaio won

Round 4: Screen
Vaio (15.4-inch widescreen) vs. T42 (12-inch) - Vaio won

Round 5: Wi-fi
Vaio (Yes) vs. T42 (Yes) - Tie

Round 6: Bluetooth, IR, S-Video
Vaio (No to all) vs. T42 (Yes except Bluetooth) - T42 won

Round 7: Optical/Data drives
Vaio (DVD-RW and SD, MMC card reader) vs. T42 (DVD playback only) - Vaio won

Round 8: Other Useful features
Vaio (Firewire connection) vs. T42 (Keyboard light, biometric access, trackpoint) - T42 won

Round 9: Packaging
Vaio (White color, bulky, laptop bag not included) vs T42 (scratch-proof black, compact, with laptop bag) - T42 won

Round 10: User-friendliness
Vaio (ok lang, sanayan lang) vs. T42 (ok lang din kasi nakasanayan na) - Tie (walang kwentang round, hehehe)

Round 11: Reviews
Vaio: (medium-sized, medium priced laptop, bago pa lang kaya wala pa gaanong reviews) vs. T42 (well-tested, top-of-the-line in its class, and its an IBM!) - T42 won

Round 12: Other issues
Si bossing naman kasi, di naman ako nagre-request ng bagong laptop pero he's eager to give me a new one. Sabi naman ng IT head namin, ang nag-improve lang ay yung speed, data storage capacity at optical drive. Sabi ko nga kanina, halos lahat naman nito upgradeable kay T42 pero hindi lahat masasagot ng company. Cost on my part. On the other hand, I also need to buy a VGA to RCA video cable for the Vaio. Tsaka pala mouse kasi nasanay na ako sa trackpoint ng IBM. Madugong suntukan 'tong round na ito. - Tie!

Winner: Vaio by split decision!!!?

Paki-inform lang ako kung kailangan ng rematch.

Heto pala yung pic ng dalawa during the weigh-in (tinatamad na kong kunin digicam ko sa bag =P).
