Has any PB user tried the new sony vaio S series yet?

the specs look good (up to 2 Ghz Dothan processor, Radeon 9700 w/64MB, up to 1 GB ram, up to 80 GB 5400rpm hard drive, wifi/bluetooth, dvd burner, 4.2lbs, thin,etc.........and most important to me: the great xbrite screen in wide aspect ratio 13.3" diag).

Please I am not looking for pc/mac flames...or "it sounds great, but no OS X" etc. Also, fully maxed out, the sony would cost $4k...i know that too.

I just want to know if anyone can compare the two.

thanks
