price?

[dai3yuen]

About $900...

But in all fairness to Sony, they never claimed the P-Series to be a 'netbook'....

[l4d2_sarge]

thats nice where can u get it

[twitchyzero]

looks like a PSP with keyboard
1.33Hz Atom?


If it's sold for $900 with 128GB SSD it might be somewhat worth it..but that price is probably for the entry level HDD

I believe it's the dual-core Atom, not the run-of-the-mill N270 that everyone has right now.

It's a single core and it's running Vista

Sony always uses higher quality components then most other companies imo though

as well, this looks 100 times better then the majority of those stupid e-pc's out there, sony always takes it in the looks department, and u can debate about the price all day long, but people will definately buy it

"However the internals are definitely lacking compared to other netbooks. With a 1.33 Ghz Intel Z520 Atom processor and Windows Vista pre-installed, even navigating the desktop is sluggish. It took over a minute just to get to Device Manager from the desktop."

from anandtech... lol
if you want a stylish netbook or you love sony. this is the one :)

[m3thods]

i personally think the HP Mini is more stylish. cleaner imo and at 8" what's the keyboard size? the hp is 92% which is a godsend compared to the others.

[hal0g0dv2]

shit that looks kinda cool, getting tired of carrying my pc around in my pocket

[Slif]

this is basically Sony's old Picturebook body with an updated CPU - just with a $1500 reduction in price

I haven't been impressed with Sony's recent line of machines - Sony + cost-cutting = as good as Acer :rolleyes:

We've had soooooo many DOA's that we've essentially stopped selling them

[Mancini]

Sony's had a "netbook" for years. This one's less than half the price. Now only slightly over double the price of the competition.

[rubencruz]

looking at the specs i dont even know how the hec this can run vista such low ram

[Iceman_2K]

well, running vista, and running vista well with aero, are two different issues.

[Eclypz]

it just wouldn't be Sony if it weren't double the price :p
I like it...but Sony really priced themselves out of the market with this one.

[.Renn.Sport]

looking at the specs i dont even know how the hec this can run vista such low ram

2GB is low? :rolleyes:

what do you expect? 16GB of ram in a netbook?

[!MiKrofT]

Can't wait till the HP Mini 2133 refresh comes out. Now that's a netbook to wait for.

The 2140? Looks OK, but the 16:9 aspect ratio sucks. I want my vertical pixels, dammit! :lol

[ienhz]

LOL $900. No wonder why Sony has over a billion in losses. I'd rather buy two HP Mini's over this.
