... geared toward portability with an insanely high resolution for it's tiny screen. It also has an instant-boot OS that gives you access to the Internet and your pictures, music and other media, featuring the kind of glossy front-end Sony is known for.

Problem is, the US Version doesn't have an XP option like the VAIO P in Japan let alone the 1.86GHz Atom Z540 option. That means you'll be stuck watching Vista Home Premium overwhelm that Atom ...
