cost is everything
looks like Sony is upsetting to botch the netbook market like they did with the mp3 player. Too expensive for less act, then you can get for 1/2 the price. Sony is turning into the GMC of electronics. Go with ASUS, or ACER.

Ardent little laptop for travel; bit pricy and perhaps discontinued?
Note as advertised and no problems with purchase/delivery issues. Best payment I could find for this item.

Improve! Some techie should put LINUX on this
This catastrophe would be a great opportunity for some LINUX techie--
buy up all the castoff units at 10% of retail; change to a decent fullfeature LINUX OS;
sell for 50% of retail !!!
Anyone listening? Sony?

You'll buy it for looks; to be sure not worth the tag.
Perhaps I got a fluke, but Sony's so-called "full laptop" computer in an 8" form factor is like demanding to run Vista on your mom's old P3. Seriously, this thing absolutely crawls. All this would be acceptable were it not for the very middling battery life (forget 4 hours, I couldn't even manage 2 with passably heavy use), when any other netbook (that's right, netbook) for well under half the price outperforms it in battery-operated life AND performance. Ironic; the 1.33Ghz processor really is a in harmony down from the 1.66Ghz Atoms in netbooks, despite what I've been told to the contrary about the weird "architecture."
But that's just on the hardware front. It powers on fast enough, but right from the get-go you're slammed with more than enough of bloatware and tons of programs that are slow to load into memory, one after the other (that's valid, it's not even a dual core). These can be uninstalled--though not cleanly, as they leave some registry refuse data behind. But there's little that can be done about yet another software-related problem: drivers. The video driver on here is one of the worst experiences I've had to engagement with video displays. HD video was an absolute disaster, even though the chipset (google "Poulsbo" or GMA500) claims it to be competent to decode 720p HD video. So when I tried to play a simple HQ youtube vid (not even HD) and met with stuttering far worse than my girl's Asus Eee PC, which cost about 350, I was understandably upset. As for the faster disk high-pressure with the SSD, this may be true. But when you can't run even basic productivity apps at full speed, any HD speed develop was unnoticeable. My Eee for instance has a conventional "slow" HD but gets the job done (except for copying files) much more at once.
A lot of this might be Vista's fault. But before you think of downgrading to the faster, lighter XP, let me alert you--you'll have even more issues with Sony's drivers. Linux? Forget about it; Intel's Poulsbo drivers are in a pitiful official there too. When the most appealing attribute of the system--the hi-res screen, mind you--is nearly unusable with any other options, one can't take but feel a bit ripped off. The webcam's quality isn't very good (the Eee wins again), and the WWan (plastic broadband) is locked to Verizon, so don't think about other companies unless you "unlock" the marker: more time and trouble. The wireless-N support is supposed to be great, but it was risky on my home network (maybe it was just my unit or config...or vista, but again, my other devices worked exquisite). They keyboard and ergonomics are fine, but again, the only good words for this piece, for this price, are surface-deep.
Parting advice: the reviews on this "Lifestyle PC" are low for safe reason. I really wish I'd seen Amazon's reviews nearer. (This unit wasn't from Amazon but from Sony themselves).

Plain
I find the box hard and the design could have been made better. Stitches are on the outside. It lacks craftiness. I have cell phone cases that have a much nicer and expensive looking consider.

Its ok. Justified not convenient
Ok, this proves is well made and of a good quality leather. The problem I have with it is that once you have put your Sony Vaio in the cover - you need to bind your fingers in and try grab the protective feld that covers the top of the laptop - and this is righteous a mission. Also - there is no place for anything else. So while it is a sexy looking cover it just isn't as at one's fingertips as others. But that been said - if I was walking around with JUST my laptop (meaning no power hawser - that means only 2 hours of battery life) then this would be my 1st choice. I am pretty confident the extended battery wouldn't fit in here either.

Very to hand and great case.
I bought this VAIO leather shipping case for my VAIO P-series netbook. The outside surface is pretty dense leather and inside is real soft. It has a little cover where the cranny is, to cover it up. Opening is made with magnetic so it is very handy to open and close. It frenzy VAIO P perfectly, but don't fit with the large capacity battery. I think this product is very gifted and also with luxury style.
