Apple overprices their products as well for the hardware, and quit being a homer about Mac OS. ]]>Jun 22nd 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/
sony has a $4000 computer too, built into a large lcd, at least for that price with apple you'd get dual-nethelhelm based xeons, with the sony you'd get a simple core 2 quad

So sony is more apple than apple :P]]>Jun 22nd 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/

Minor point but the Flash Player is a plug-in for browsers and therefore isn't considered part of any browser on any platform. We all secretly hope that it will go away and die so that this nonsense with plug-ins for functionality that should be part of the browser will disappear.

The problem with Flash for the iPhone is that Adobe are incompetent. Even Microsoft can produce Silverlight for the Mac platform that is about twice as efficient as Adobe Flash and it's hardly in their interest to make anything good on the Mac.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/

Second: Even a touchscreen/tablet isn't going to come close to making this things price justifiable.

Just never thought a PC company could make a Mac product look reasonable.

Macbook Air > Vaio P]]>Jun 22nd 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/Vaio P, everybody can figure out that the Air is way bigger and much more intimidating then an Vaio P... C´mon the Air is close to 3 times as heavy as the Vaio is and except for a bigger screen and better CPU runs pretty much the same hardware. Now... do you still keep bitching about the price? Lets then consider a 128GB SDD which runs over here already close to 900 USD on avarage which leaves about 600 USD for the rest of the netbook or whatever you want to call it. Tbh I dont consider it that much more expensive anymore.
Lastly sure.. you could get cheaper netbooks but you do realize that those seriously cheap netbooks have keyboards that small even an my GF with seriously small hands can´t type properly on it? With the Vaio P you also get a carbon casing and a proper screen i dont feel its such a bad deal. Also Sony isn´t targetting this at the low-end market but more at a secretary or people who got some money to throw at it. If this gets released I wouldn´t mind buying it as this is atleast a netbook I can work on and not to forget can switch the battery mid-flight.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/Jun 22nd 2009 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/Jun 22nd 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/Jun 22nd 2009 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/vaio-p-with-updated-1-6ghz-atom-and-128gb-ssd-is-still-weak-sauc/

Sony attempts to push these prices onto US pricing schemes.

They look silly and the only people who actually buy the "high" end Sony laptops are people who automatically associate performance/quality with price. (In other words they presume that the apple tax apply's for PCs as well)

And about the macbook thing, yes, if you want more power do the air. Obviously it has more horsepower under the hood, but I can jusify spending even that kind of money on something so flimsy... I really don't like the design. Thin is good, but too thin is breakable.
