I suppose if you're signed up for a 3G network the 3G is nice and if you have Microsoft Streets and Map, the GPS can be useful, but to me the main draw is the full-sized keyboard and the nice long screen.]]>Jan 7th 2009 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/Jan 9th 2009 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/Jan 8th 2009 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/Good to see high res screen though

Most people understand why you pay more for an Audi or Mercedes, even though you could probably get more kilowatts in a shitty Peugeut for less money.

That said, this might still be the world's thinnest, most expensive Peugeot.]]>Jan 7th 2009 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/Jan 7th 2009 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/Plus Sony never said it was a netbook and I don't know why Engadget is calling it that.

am i the only one who thinks $900 is worth it for a 1.4 lbs system? or would people rather justify paying $1800 for an mba that weights at 3.3 lbs???]]>Jan 7th 2009 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/
Another question is; What on earth is this computer for? It doesn't look like anything I can type on long letter on, merely looks useful for commenting on friends' status on facebook and chit chatting on MSN. But I feel like an iPod Touch does that also, but in a much smaller form factor. If Apple comes out with a super sized iTouch with a 7-9 inch display then it will be game over for this P-series. ]]>Jan 7th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/Jan 7th 2009 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/i waited 5 years for someone to come out with a netbook (a cheap laptop that does basic tasks). im sure it will only take 2 years for some company to come out with a nice 7inch touchscreen ipod touch :-D]]>Jan 7th 2009 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/it's pretty clear that the macbook air and the sony p are completely different, why bother saying one's better than the other? they're both premium for their own market.]]>Jan 8th 2009 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/
But with nVIDIA jumping on board netbooks and the relatively weak (based on rumors) processor compared to others, now is a time to wait.]]>Jan 7th 2009 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/sony-gets-official-with-vaio-p-worlds-lightest-8-inch-netbook/
This thing is a $550 unit with big upgrades. I think the "nipple" is a huge upgrade over the tiny trackpads and weird button positions you find on other netbooks, while the screen makes this machine perfect for internet and writing documents. I can have 2 documents side by side. Fantastic.



However, the HP Mini-note 2140 with the upcoming 13xx by 768 screen may be a better overall package.

I'm digging the green one, but would probably go with the HP.
