THEY ARE ALL ALIKE. THE SAME FUCKING OS AND THE SAME FUCKING CHIPS!!!!!!

Now, if we were talking about them BRAVIAS....Oh shit. Now you playing with fire baby.
I want a Sony 1080p 35 inch and I will get one by the end of the year.

Besides that, there's that extra high resolution Vaio P screen that costs money.

Now, don't get me wrong, I still think it's a little overpriced (what Sony computer isn't?) and I would never buy one for myself, but saying they're the same specs is misleading. It's mostly comparable performance, yes, but Sony is definitely using higher end parts as well.

And way to make the comparison more unfair by using a more expensive model of the Vaio. The base configuration is $900. I think it'd have to be $700 or so to be worth the money, but it's not as bad as you're making it sound.]]>Mar 8th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Mar 8th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/
can we ban the words "recession" and "depression" because every time there's a post about a product that costs more than $20 some jerk mentions it]]>Mar 8th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Mar 8th 2009 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Indeed only a better CPU doesn´t, but then besides a better CPU it also has a high res screen, carbon casing, sdd drive (option atleast), better GFX and not to mention high quality materials. Comparing a netbook which bends by just pressing on it with a poor screen and a keyboard where a girl even can´t type properly on it with this product just doesn´t match.
But then we can also compare a Vaio X505 with a Gateway laptop, sure the specs are more or less the same yet the price is a 4 fault. Sure it has some Sony taxing on it, but its isn´t as bad as it seems. But then when we hear netbook we expect to get high specs for no money, right?]]>Mar 9th 2009 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Mar 9th 2009 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/

It just looks sad when she's walking and has to keep pushing the Vaio P back in her pocket as it slips out! Or am I just missing something?

I haven't seen it in person yet but have seen pictures of it compared to other netbooks and it does make them look like toys in comparison, that 1600x768 resolution is absolutely crazy. ]]>Mar 8th 2009 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Mar 8th 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Mar 8th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/

I welcome this crazy high resolution... I have 1024x600 (on a forementions 1000h, and it's simply not enough to look at pictures... Yeah, it's small, but you can change font sizes, etc, where it matters... It's definitely a trade-off, but there's no other way to get the usable amount of data on the screen, and have the screen be small...

I wish they didn't make it so "pocketable", and made the screen a little taller (ie, 1600x900)... because the internet is vertical, not horizontal (in case someone didn't notice yet).]]>Mar 8th 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/
The nub is ok...but seems like a "cheap half assed solutio". I havent used them myself but dont some phones have optical trackpads, i believe the Omnia has one.

The screen is stupidly small and high res. I could barely read a thing.

Felt so very plasticy, no better than an Eee

The only reason movies went widescreen is because TVs weren't widescreen and the movies needed something to differentiate themselves.

Also, in movies you can pick up something with your peripheral vision, which is definitely stronger on the sides. But you need to focus on whatever you're doing and that focus should be in a small space, which is why people don't maximize windows on 30" monitors.

The few times I use my monitor for watching movies shouldn't justify the inefficient layout the rest of the time.]]>Mar 8th 2009 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Mar 8th 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/
For the record, ALU/FPU are increased only by the speed, HDD choice should not affect it at all. And if you look at the benches, SSD actually slows down the ALU/FPU rather than increase it, which would make sense given the much higher overhead on SSD. Only thing HDD choice should matter in is the disk read/write speed, which the SSD kills the 60GB HDD almost four times over.]]>Mar 8th 2009 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/08/sonys-vaio-p-benchmarked-in-all-its-magnificent-and-diverse-for/Go Sony!!!
Kind of interested with the whole redesign rumor going around with the psp and all. Knowing Sony though they will probably screw it up.
