and people complain about price, and guess what a touchscreen will do to the price?

i would love to have a touchscreen laptop, but surely i wouldn't pay a few hundred dollars premium just for it]]>Jan 10th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/
Touchscreen is not really that good and not for every single device.]]>Jan 10th 2009 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/Jan 10th 2009 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/Jan 11th 2009 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/
I think a standard 8.9 inch screen or 10 inch screen is absolutely essential.]]>Jan 11th 2009 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/Jan 11th 2009 5:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/
I had a Fujitsu B series, which is a notebook form factor with a touch screen. It was quite suboptimal compared to a convertible tablet, but still better than nothing. A stiff hinge helps.

But I think what is really needed is something as well/beautifully designed as the vaio p that is a convertible tablet. Most tablet designs are quite clunky. However it wouldn't be a vaio p because the screen height is too short to be sensible as a tablet.

If it had been IE7, then yeah, I guess that wouldn't have been decent enough. But IE8 has really changed what IE was, and it's not a so-so browser anymore. My favorite parts are the Accelerators and the fantastic Search box. It's also pretty speedy as well.

IE8 is as decent as it gets. ]]>Jan 10th 2009 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/ive been using ie8 for a while and its faster than firefox 3 o.O]]>Jan 10th 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/
Compares to IE, and even more so, Firefox seems slow, which is a shame, as its the browser that made MS give us something so much better than the utter junk that was IE6, ect!]]>Jan 10th 2009 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/
Speed isn't everything...

But I agree that Microsoft has made huge improvements to IE, and just like all else to bee seen in windows 7, the new interface is really streamlined to work intuitively for the user. ]]>Jan 11th 2009 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/Jan 11th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/vaio-p-now-with-more-windows-7/
It seems a bit lighter, any chance of some benchmarks? Vista V 7?

As with a beta OS, some things are not 100% all the time, but nothing bads happened to me, my nVidia driver crashed after it was installed, once, been gaming for a few hours and no problems!

I couldn't install intels bus drivers without putting it in Vista computability mode, but that doesn't matter, all vista drivers work!

I have it installed on a slower HDD than vista ( partition'ed 500gig 7.2k RPM standard V 80gig velociraptor (sata II) )

And its just as fast booting ect.

It runs really fast, I would do it!

Initially, I did a clean install on a seperate partition, but after realizing how amazing Windows 7 was, I used the upgrade funtion. No more vista for me.
