Another smack on the VAIOp's ass for lacking a touchscreen. What were they thinking? It's already small and lack a touchpad.... what else are touchscreens for?
I'm waiting for that W7 touchscreen netbook to put my hard earned $$$ into.
Recently a friend of mine bought one of those Atom powered Lenovo X200 or X400 (i cant remember) was freakishly expensive it was small had the dot in the keyboard also had touchscreen ..... I used a bluetooth mouse.
Touchscreen is not really that good and not for every single device.
Yeah ... a touchscreen for a vertical surface. What a bunch of morons. Like that's going to really help the user experience. Should be a real treat in terms of smeary screens, strained muscles and lack of precision control. But hey ... at least it'll be touchscreen. And that's like godhood right there .... //end rant.
This Vaio looks likes it suffers from the same problem as the Toshiba Libretto U100 which had a 7 inch screen. The text is too small to read especially when in places like Starbucks where you may be some distance from the screen.
I think a standard 8.9 inch screen or 10 inch screen is absolutely essential.
@someone, what does what one group of people want (a touch screen) have to do with what another group is complaining about (glossiness)?
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.
i have a vaio z11znb its so beautiful and fast, and i get over five hours of battery time, i just wanted to share that for no reason, 4gb ram 1gb just for th heck of it!!!!!!!
Microsoft didnt fix UAC. You still have to "allow" the same programs at every boot. It doesnt remember shite. Also if you turn UAC off sidebar no longer works.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Yes! now this is what I've been waiting for.
Please quote some sort of battery life Engadget! That's the only thing standing between me and a purchase of this thing.

sony's website says 4 hours.
what's with all this touchscreen obssession? people complain about glossiness, and guess what a screen will look like with your grubby fingers on it?
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

Engadget Try to lower the Resolution & then enable Areo, it just may work.

Sorry guys had to piggyback to the top - you have to retake the Windows Experience test after installing graphics drivers to enable aero :)
