So while getting set to unveil the new MacBook Air, Steve-o made a rough comparison to the Sony VAIO TZ series of notebook computers. Let’s take a look at the cheapest model, the VGN-TZ150N/B and see how it and the new MacBook Air really stack up.

It’s true, the MacBook Air has the Sony VAIO beat handily. At it’s thickest, the Air is 0.76-inches. The Sony is 1.17-inches thick.
