Sony has created a monstrous laptop indeed — 18.4-inches of screen and motherboard, and even HD goodness. It has all the sweet features that you would expect for today’s HD-craze, but with a screen that is large enough to be seen from space! Remember when you’re mother said that you shouldn’t sit so close to your television screen, the same should apply to your miniature computing device called a LAP-top. If a computer is on your lap, does it make sense to have a screen so large that it could double as your actual television.

At over 18 inches, about the width of some average-sized microwaves, the Sony Vaio AW is probably a lot more than your legs can handle. What is the point? You can’t take it to class, its not that portable, and its most likely not going o be that cool; with all of those moving parts and graphics processing it would definitely need great cooling fans. Also… it weighs more than the average baby at over 8 pounds.

There is a time when bigger is not better. When larger, more expensive, isn’t as leet. This time is now, Sony. We want our laptops small and portable, and our desktops loud and hot and expensive — not the other way around. Smaller, is definitely better here, folks. We advise that unless you’re really blind and need an 18-inch laptop (rather than a full-sized desktop computer capable of much, much more), we suggest looking past this latest Sony goliath of a laptop.

Truly, if you are interested, look at Sonystyle.com for some options. The laptop is on pre-order until September 18.

    I, for one, look forward to smearing my face over every delicious, pixelated inch.

    Haha, you know what though, I guess a laptop in some cases IS better than a desktop. But, thats really, really big. It should be considered a desktop computer.
