Vizio meets the MacBook: Part 2










Vizio's "Thin+Light" ultrabook-style laptop.

Vizio's new ultrabook-style laptops have a kink or two to iron out before they can take on the MacBook.




Last week, I wrote about my experience with Vizio's new ultrathin laptops -- which are just beginning to become widely available -- at the Microsoft store in Los Angeles. After sitting down and using the 14- and 15-inch "Thin+Light" laptops, I was wowed by their displays.




And that's what I focused on, since that's a crucial feature to get right if you take on the MacBook -- particularly now with the Retina MacBook Pro.




But this week I need to focus on a glitch, which I touched on as a parenthetical in a post back on July 14.




At that time, I wrote: "On Friday, in the Microsoft store there was a small crowd checking out ultrabooks (on display were half a dozen new Vizio ultrabooks -- and note that a couple of the ultrabooks were plagued by a freezing mouse cursor)."
