Yeah, I didn’t have a problem with the main power switch. I’m aware the new one takes up less power, but it’s still a bizarre thing to remove.

Really, no main power switch, that’s kind of annoying, but I guess you could always just unplug it.

I think I’d prefer te matte finish to the shiny surface of the original (I hate finger prints and dust), but yeah, why change the buttons? The only time they were confusing was that first time you hit them and wonder if the press actually took or not. All in all, the Slim seems like a nice system, but I don’t see any reason to trade in my old fattie.

Well it was more like a note on the VERGE of complaining!
But I agree, SN, I loved the old “buttons”. They were never hard to use, and it’s the only thing I’m disappointed in with my new snug little system.

“There’s literally nothing to complain about at all; it’s the same great system at a lower price, in prettier packaging.”

-You just complained about the finish, way to contradict yourself.

-Also I don’t see what was so frustrating about the old buttons, other than they’re a prime example of how Sony needlessly over-engineered the original model, they still worked well enough though.
