Anyone know anything about the Sony VAIO W12S1E Netbook?

Mrs DBZ wants one, and it looks good on paper:

- Usual Atom CPU
- 1Gb RAM
- 250Gb HDD
- Wireless N
- It's available in Pink...:hmm:

Any reviews or personal experience?

Basiclly all netbooks come down to the Keyboard and how comfertable it is for the user. I suggest checking it out at a local retailer before you buy it.

All 10.1" netbooks basically have the same specs, personally i would go with the 11.6" acer 751 due to the larger screen/keyboard and its also pretty cheap. Or if you want something faster the acer 1410 with a celeron core2duo.

I'm not going to touch the 751 as it's performance is piss poor when compared to it's peers. I can't get a new Netbook that gets owned by my 1st Gen Aspire One!

Is the 751 really that slow when compared to already slow atom cpu's?
Look at the acer 1410 if you want to step away from the atom cpu's.

Yeah, the 751 is weak:

Passmark Performance Test 7
Acer 751 (Atom z520) - 165
Asus 1000HE (Atom N270) - 235


I'l check out the 1410, it's labelled the 1810 here.
