Beautiful

May 19, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Great design
Cons: Expensive
Opinion:
People saying 'don't buy this, buy the EEE' are morons; they don't understand the concept of different people having different demands/needs. The EEE laptops are cheap and cheerful; similar processor performance, and if that's ALL you care about, why are you bothering to even look at the Sony? Every aspect of the Sony's design is better; the keyboard, the screen, the dimensions and (by far) the general aesthetics. If haivng a very portable laptop that has a great keyboard/screen is worth the extra money to you, then spend more and get teh sony. If you just wants something that does the job, and it you don't feel spending the extra money is worth it to you, then get teh eee. Remember, whether it is worth it is really supjective and relative to your lifestyle. For me, paying extra for a computer with better dimensions/keyboard/screen that I'm going to be using every day, and carrying with me very often is ... Read more

Good Keyboard with many compromise

Apr 5, 2009

Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: Good Keyboard and slim design
Cons: No Touchpad, Limited Battery Life, PRICE, lack of connectivity
Opinion:
Well considering that this is a net-book, the price should lower, yeah its stylish but are you really getting your moneys worth? If you ask me if the net-book that I am planning to buy is in this price range,,,, I would rather get a notebook which has a similar price, that provides you with more value for your money. In this desperate times in our global economy we should really think of what we get off in exchange of our money..... The HP mini is a comparable equivalent with a more subtle price range, and you should look also at the EEEPC...

Sleek, lightweight, excellent build

Feb 3, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Small, light, performance good enough to cut between netbook and notebook
Cons: Vista is sluggish on this config
Opinion:
i tried the sony vaio p at the sony center in sm megamall for a few minutes. the keyboard takes some getting used to, but not bad at all. after a minute or two of typing, it became easier to land my digits on the right keys. i launched a few applications, checked the windows experience rating (said 2.9 but said it needed to be refreshed) and opened a couple of browser windows. on the average, application launch speeds were good, ranging from 3-4 seconds, as against a full Core 2 Duo's 1-2 seconds, of course. the real challenge here is vista as OS. while it does aero quite well, it cannot sustain aero even when playing a short video. once its available in the market, i will install windows 7. overall, i think vista was just the wrong software for an otherwise decent-performing, delicious-looking machine. so if you're brave enough to ditch the one-year warranty, install XP ... Read more
