Hard to know if these Sonys are worth the premium without seeing how much difference the extra screen resolution makes...not voted either way...

The rules re the res have been relaxed by Intel so many of the new ones will be this screen res, cold for me as this price includes the 'Sony' premium.

When netbooks were becoming popular intel said than any they supplied the Atom chipset for were only to have screen res up to 10024x600 for the 10" netbooks. Or summat like that


These will sell by the bucket load I reckon, same spec as all the others but that vaio badge will make all the difference.

Max 160gb, screen res and maybe a couple of other things that they allowed. Seems odd doesn't it! Google it.

This netbook uses the Intel Atom Processor N280 1.66GHZ and has a screen resolution of 1366×768 with LED Backlight and the build quality is much higher than other manufacturers. If you can find this model for cheaper or a different brand for cheaper with the same specifiations then this is definitely a cold deal.

Cold - about £100 more than it should be!

Even with the so called build quality and high res screen it's just a netbook!

What's the battery like with this bad boy?

My NC10 lasts forever. I'd want at least 6 hours run time before I consider and upgrade.

Apple take note ;)

Only about 2.5 hrs I think, unlike my macbook pro which lasts at least 7hrs basic wifi surfing

Read the specs from the link! How can you be scientific about battery life, all you can do is take the manufacturers claimed figure with a pinch of salt

:
Battery Lithium-Ion ( )
Battery Life 2.5 Hours
