In essence you are saying you want to spend 2-3x the price for a SONY "Ultraportable" that is :
1) slower than an EEE PC / Acer Aspire one/ MSI Wind / Etc.
2) Has a smaller screen
3) Has less battery life than the EEE PC
4) Has a smaller Hard drive

You sound brilliant......]]>Jan 9th 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/Jan 8th 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/

Basically I now they are alienating a large portion of customers by calling there product, designed for woman and something aonly a sophisticated person would like. Bahh, what can you expect from Sony.]]>Jan 8th 2009 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/
I want the Vaio P and am willing to pay the premium because of the wider, better keyboard, no wasted space (on bottom half), super - high resolution screen (pretty much double of any netbook on market), and vaio quality.

Planning on replacing my Vaio SZ all-purpose computer with a built-from-scratch desktop to stay at home and a Vaio P to take to class and etc sometime in the future when Windows 7 becomes available. Vaio P is not worth buying with Vista IMO, given the Windows 7 hype swirling about (20% better battery life, for example)]]>Jan 10th 2009 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/Jan 8th 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/Jan 8th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/

Try upgrading the RAM and Hard Drive of the ACER Aspire One and then on an ASUS EEE PC 1000H.........and then tell me which one is better.

Also the EEE PC1000H battery life is better too.]]>Jan 9th 2009 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/Jan 9th 2009 1:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-speaks-about-vaio-p-evidently-thinks-its-not-a-netbook/Jan 9th 2009 10:39AM
