ANY Atom-based P-Series is just not powerful enough for the asking price.]]>Oct 7th 2009 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/Oct 7th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/
The Sony VAIO P-series is a brilliant piece of engineering.

It's small, ultra-light weight, fully-featured, has a great GPS function, BT, HSDPA/WWAN. and it's quite beautiful.

Shipping it with Vista was an issue, but with a bit of 'de-bloating' and an upgrade to Win 7, it runs quite nicely.

I already had 5 other netbooks, so my attitude regarding the Sony P was... Why Not Buy The Ultimate Netbook?

But this is Sony so, yeah.

That new HP Ion that dropped recently is a lot more bang for less buck, and thats where i'm going.

why would anyone spend $2000 on a vaio p]]>Oct 7th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/Oct 7th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/Oct 7th 2009 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/
Placed side-by-side, just as I'm looking at them both now, my MacBook Air is barely thinner, with an absolutely ungainly huge 'footprint' when compared with my strikingly svelte VAIO P.

The AIR is what it is, but in many ways it's far more functionally limited than my VAIO P that at least has a suitable number of ports, card readers, et al.]]>Oct 8th 2009 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/Oct 8th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/Oct 9th 2009 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/sony-uk-site-unveils-new-vaio-p-with-2ghz-atom-and-windows-7/
#1 "Im not buying this, therefore the company has lost direction/is going under" posts. Sorry, no.

#2 Bleats for Nvidia ION in ultraportables this small. Have you *seen* the power usage for ION versus the GMA500? Battery usage is already too short, sticking ION in there would render it utterly useless.

#3 "XXX is way a cheaper Atom netbook than the Vaio P", "ZZZ is way more powerful for the same price". Sure it's way overpriced. But show me a similar netbook with the same size and weight - they're all heavier and bulkier. The lightest Asus (one of the old models) is half as heavy again, and the later models are more than double. Macbook Air, twice the weight. The Alienware M17x?! It weighs nearly *12lbs*. Even better value is putting $2k into a whitebox desktop. ]]>Oct 11th 2009 6:05PM
