P Series review
(3 out of 5) by Mr. Pg Downward on Apr 29, 2009I chose this product to replace a larger, less mobile laptop due to the amount of travel my work involves.
The size of this machine has to be its reason for purchase, although very small and mobile it does suffer as it is a slow runner! It takes its time to boot and open applications, also a large amount of heat is prodused on the underside.
I do like this laptop as it is ideal for having a PC on the move and having space to spare. I would recommend it to people in the same situation. I would not however recommend it as a full time substitute for a laptop, battery life is small and the keyboard/pointer can prove to be difficult for prolonged use.
Due to the country I am working in I have not had use of the 3G benifits. I look forward to updating this review on return to to UK.

Disappointing
(1 out of 5) by Shirley Conran on Sep 15, 2009I was deeply disappointed by this product. After 3 hours spent trying to set up and install basic Outlook software, my technician said that he thought that it was a cross between a mobile phone and a toy. The default font was so small that I needed to revert to the larger custom font, which was still too small for my purpose. Once the font had been made larger, it was not possible to see a complete web page, nor was it possible to access the necessary buttons in order to navigate the website to buy the Outlook product I needed to install.
So a wasted morning but I am grateful that Amazon have agreed to accept this as a return. I doubt I shall ever again buy another Sony new to market product.
Parents beware.

Fantastic little laptop just don't expect speed!
(5 out of 5) by Yet another computer geek on Oct 22, 2009 (Shropshire, UK)I've just bought this from Amazon and am amazed the size of the device, it's tiny!! I agree with other reviews that the p series is quite slow (you get a "Windows Experience Index" of just 1.9 due to the Atom processor) but if you upgrade to Windows 7, turn off Aero, remove some of the preinstalled software and stop unnecessary services then it runs fine. If, like me, you're going to use it to check email, write the odd Word document and view photos from a memory card whilst out and about then it's perfect. I would not buy this to replace a desktop or even regular laptop but if you just want it to take with you wherever you go then you'll be happy with it.
