Sony Vaio P

Insanely compact ; Responsive accelerometer ; New optical touchpad

Sluggish ; Cramped keyboard ; Too expensive

Sleek, pocket-sized design Good touchpoint control

Screen and keyboard are a hair too tiny Pricey considering the parts

Inside Windows, you can always just boot up VAIO Media Plus. It operates with the same cross-media interface, though it's just a hair more sluggish than the version with the light Linux shell. The Smart-Wi networking software quickly gets you onto...

Sleek, pocket-sized design ; Good touchpoint control

Screen and keyboard are a hair too tiny ; Pricey considering the parts

There's no denying this not-quite-a-netbook's sex appeal, but the price is a little too steep for what Sony's VAIO P offers.

Perhaps the best aspects of the Vaio P are its integrated Verizon EVDO cellular broadband connection and its capability to fetch GPS data without an Internet connection. I haven't yet gotten a chance to play with the GPS. I find that of the browsing...

Smallest and lightest in class ; Excellent build quality ; Fantastic keyboard despite the small size ; Responsive, business-grade touchpoint ; Available with built-in 3G WWAN ; No noisy cooling fan

Expensive for an Atom-based laptop ; Gets a little hot ; Glossy plastic lid is a magnet for fingerprints ; Weak speakers, even for something this small ; Not user-upgradeable

Windows 7; 2GB RAM; 256GB SSD; wireless broadband and GPS; incredibly portable

Incredibly expensive; too tiny to use comfortably; no touch pad

So what do you make of a tiny, yet full-fledged computer with a screen that causes eyestrain, a keyboard that’s hard to type on, and a nearly $2,000 price tag? The Verizon-enabled 3G wireless data connection and turn-by-turn GPS (utilizing Microsoft...

All in one, this Vaio is a great ultra-portable device with fancy looks, but the price tag makes it just not right for the netbook class. Because netbooks suposed to be affordable, and although the Vaio P Series has lots of qualities, it lacks this one.

At AED 3995/- I think the Sony VAIO P is more of a technology showcase for Sony than anything else. It packs a ton of features in an extremely small foot print. Sadly the usability factor gets hit and thus it caters more towards people who prefer form...

Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless are built in, as is a VGA webcam. SD and Memory Stick Duo/Magic Gate flash-card slots are located on the Sony's front edge. There's one USB 2.0 port on each side of the notebook, along with a headphone jack and...
