About $900...
But in all fairness to Sony, they never claimed the P-Series to be a 'netbook'....

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

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

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

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.

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

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