It seems Intel, doesn't want to admit to the fact, that their GMA950 graphics is mediocre. Or maybe it's because their new Atom CPU, Pineview, is right around the corner, whatever the reason they don't support Nvidia's Ion. I can't wait for someone to defy Intel and release a netbook with it though.]]>Jan 8th 2009 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/intel-put-the-kibosh-on-anti-ion-hubbub-welcomes-standalone-ato/

Hard to decide... 900$ for this super classy mobile mini computer or 1200$ for a new i7 workstation?! I guess I'll take the workstation. Still I wish I had that gadget..! I want to sit aside the guy with the macbook air and put out my little marvel! (no no, not my wurst).]]>Jan 8th 2009 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/
What hasn't been reported widely is that the UK SonyStyle pre-order has an upgrade option to 1.60ghz (Intel Atom Z530); and the Japan SonyStyle pre-order has a 1.86ghz (Intel Atom Z540) upgrade option -- hence the added price.]]>Jan 8th 2009 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/Jan 8th 2009 2:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/Jan 8th 2009 2:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/
I just wish they had put in a trackball insted of that stupid IBM style trackpoint. That makes it totaly unusable for me. I had to use a thinkpad at work for a couple of years and never did get used to those trackpoints. Ended up using a USB mouse.

Anyone know if the case material is metal or plastic? It looks like plastic in the photos but you never can tell for sure untill you see one live. I also can't wait to see one of these once someone with some modding skills gets ahold of it. Add a couple of SDHC readers to it (or that newer version that was just posted on engadget), remove the trackpoint and put in a trackball, touchscreen?, etc.]]>Jan 8th 2009 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/Even though I said all that, I still can't get that overall size and supposed 8 hr battery out of my head. ]]>Jan 8th 2009 5:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/Jan 8th 2009 5:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/

Getting such an ultraportable loaded with so much good stuff below $1000 - that's pretty great, and even the highest spec is a great deal. And besides, what else could you get in this form factor for less, that has build quality and such a slim and light form factor?
I agree that a $1000 ultraportable is not for everyone, but for those that it's aimed at, it's actually pretty cheap, especially considering it's a Sony.]]>Jan 9th 2009 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/sony-vaio-p-ripped-apart/Jan 26th 2009 8:32AM
