The Z550, amazingly, does not support x64. Its purely a 32 bit cpu.

I was shocked by the new layout too. There is no way to get all the links to recent stories on a single page. It used to be so convenient to check INQ once in a few days. NOT ANYMORE!

hehe, that keyboard looks like the one used on macbooks

And what does this have to do with the story? So you don't like the layout? Who cares? I don't like peanut butter, but you don't see me spamming it into every god bleeping story. Get a life. Find a girlfriend. Write your elected official, just STFU about the layout already!

As for the story, It looks like a great piece of kit. I will say that after taking apart a few hundred Sony laptops/netbooks, You can have their kit. How hard is it to add an access door/flap on the bottom to remove/replace the hard drive? If your lucky you just have to pull the keyboard to get at the hard drive. You may have to take half the damn laptop apart to get at it. One even had the hard drive under the battery. Ok, rant over. Still looks like a nice piece of tech, but for someone else...

A MacBook Air? Wow, you're right, it's completely different to everything else out there...

I agree, I perfer the old layout. I found it alot easier to navigate and to see which articles I missed between visits.

The inquirer has really gone downhill, this layout really sucks. I hope they fix it!
