I agree.

I admit, I was pretty excited to try one of these out. When I finally got the chance, I was really disappointed. I hated the little nub-mouse for it's ultra-sensitivity and (as much as I love super-high resolutions), it was a bit of a strain on the eyes.]]>Jan 27th 2009 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/
I do agree with you on the hi-res screen part.

Ever tried a Gameboy Micro? Those hurt my eyes so bad that I got rid of it.]]>Jan 27th 2009 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/
But, it's not a netbook. At least thats what Sony says. But the PS3 is also a personal computer, so who knows?]]>Jan 27th 2009 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/

And I wouldn't buy this either, I would buy a cheaper netbook myself.]]>Jan 27th 2009 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Unfortunately, looking at Sony's track records, it will take more than six months for us to see a drop in price. :/]]>Jan 27th 2009 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/While you are at it about the typing of notes I couldn´t agree more. One big reason to buy this laptop is the full keyboard it´s equiped with so you can actually type 10 finger blindly on it while the cheap netbooks have a keyboard which is just a littlebit smaller though just small enough that even a girl can´t type 10 finger blind on it. Besides that a carbon casing, high-res screen, nub, a proper SDD are plenty of reasons why this gimmick is expensive. Sure there are cheaper netbooks around but most of them are build so flimsy comparing them with eachother simply is a no-go.]]>Jan 27th 2009 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/
Exactly. This thing is ultraportable quality in a new Atom enabled for factor. There are lighter machines running a Core2Duo and with 12" screens than any netbook. This is just that level of engineering brought to an Atom based mini computer.]]>Jan 27th 2009 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/
$1199 seems silly if the $300 difference only gets you an SSD and Vista Premium, especially if you're just going to install another OS anyway. But... the allure of a completely silent netbook suckered me in. It was about $1405 with the extended battery and CA sales tax.]]>Jan 27th 2009 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/Jan 27th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/
Feels cheap, it's beyond small, I can't even see the darn thing (using my lovely 17" MBPro right now :-)) and it's impossible to type on the VAIO P, I just don't get it.

The commercials show a girl putting it in her purse, I guess Sony can be credited with making the world's first netbook geared directly to Women!

Good job Sir Howard Stringer!

Now that is a very good laptop with a VERY

The Lenovo is a good machine. But hardly "almost the same" as the VAIO P:
* 1024x600 vs. 1600x768 => 2x more screen resolution + LED backlight
* 512MB vs. 2GB => 4x more memory
* 2.4 lbs. vs 1.4 lbs. => 40% lighter
* P has integrated WWAN, 802.11n bluetooth
* (but P has slower 1.33 vs. 1.6 processor)

You may not care about any of the above, so you're right not to consider the P. But not everyone will feel the same way about the difference in features. The P is expensive because it has more newer technologies and more shrunken down -- Worth it for those that care.

1. Higher resolution but on a 8" screen, which means instead of having to scroll you have to use the magnifier so you can read the tiny text....
2. The newer S10's have 1 gig (how much is 2 gig upgrade anyway, 20$?).
3. The S10 has bluetooth (well mine does) and has an expansion port so can add anything else.

As most people have already said, the only good thing about the VAIO vs standard Netbook is that it can potentially fit in your pocket.]]>Jan 28th 2009 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/
however for those of you with 1.33 processors windows 7 final build will be a relief.]]>Jan 27th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/sony-vaio-p-begins-shipping-stateside/

That’s not disappointing, considered that our friends in England now have to pay an astronomical £789.84 ($1,148.36) at Amazon.co.uk to get their hands on one.
