Allan,
you do recall that the Sony ROOTKIT fiasco started on a single blog.

The point here is not an opinion poast regarding the quality or speed
or expense of a Sony product. It is about whether the product has been
falsely advertised as having a CARBON FIBER case when it, in fact, has
a PLASTIC case.

This is a fsck up. Does this mean that notebook is not a good
notebook? no. But it does mean that once again, Sony (or in this case
the disconnect b/w the Sony marketeers and the engineers) has created a
problem for themselves.
