Vaio P

It didn’t take long for someone to take the new Sony Vaio P Netbook (introduced at CES) and load Windows 7 on it.  Engadget has a quick write-up on their thoughts and first impressions of how it went.  They also have 2 videos of it which will give you a good chance to check out the new Vaio as well.

  • It boots fast! Not that Vista was that bad on the boot front, but we’re pretty happy with this.
  • No Aero. That’s to be expected, but the lack of transparency and visual effects makes the OS look quite a bit different than most of the screenshots out there.
  • It’s very responsive. To be honest, a lot of that could be from the fact that this is a clean install, minus all the crap Sony loads on. Still, we’re very happy for the start menu to pop open instantly, windows to redraw like God intended… it’s pretty great.
  • Browsing is 100% better. Internet Explorer pops open in a flash, and pages load in times nearly on comparison with “real” computers. Also, scrolling is ultra smooth, whereas with Vista it was stuttery all the way down.
  • There’s a lot more to explore. We’ve just scratched the surface, but we love what we’ve seen so far.
