• Here is my take on this product
  
  First
  This is obviously form over function
  The VAIO line from Sony usually is
  
  This product is meant for those that have more than enough money
  Netbooks are beautiful if you are only using internet, email, and such
  Yet this costs more than most decent laptops, with only an eight inch screen
  
  Sony is using this to create a fashionable dichotomy in the average blocky, bulky netbook category
  All things aside, most can say this is a very attractive product
  
  Understand, once more
  Form over function for this
  
  Most people are missing the point with the track pad
  It is not that you are losing the track pad
  But gaining a full keyboard
  If you have enough money to buy this product
  For whatever reason
  Do not be discouraged by this product set back
  There are plenty of USB mouse options
  
  Forgetting the trackpad all together saves space, there by increasing the keyboard size
  Which is usually the main problem with net books
  Most track pads on these products, and on many laptops can be awkward
  Or near impossible to use
  Having a USB mouse
  While not very efficient taking into account this product is meant to be carried in your bag
  Is a better option than a trackpad
  
  I believe Sony certainly accomplished what they were looking for
  An attractive, high end, product that can potentially redefine the netbook
  Though Sony wishes for this to be called a lifestyle PC
  Which is like saying a burger is not a burger
  But your own personal, portable, customizable steak
  
  Do not look at this as a product
  But as a door opener to the next generation of netbooks
  Full keyboards
  High definetion
  4 gigs of ram
  And the ability to run higher end OSes
  
  How I wish you could see the potential
  The potential of P series Sony
  It's like a netbook elegantly bound bound but
  With a price, that you can't pay, just yet In reply to: "The Sony P-series Lifestyle PC: Just don't call it a Netbook"
