Netbook replacement, part 2 (contains drooling)

[janewilliams20]

I mentioned randomly in a comment somewhere that a few years back, I'd fallen in love with a beautiful (but expensive) Sony Vaio. I did a quick search, noted that the original ran Win Vista (aargh!) and while still available, was pretty clunky by today's standards. So I went over to the Sony website and browsed, finding only great big things that waste space on irritating touchpads that move the cursor at random whenever my thumbs stray into a natural typing position. Being optimistic, I went over to the forum and asked. Yes, I could get myself an original Vaio P, running Win 7, and it would be supported. Or I could get this....

Fortunately the "keyboard" on that, being perfectly smooth, is probably drool-resistant., That on my big PC is not so lucky. I'm checking details, but that would appear to do everything I could want and more, in a smaller package than I'd dreamed of and at half the price I'd considered for the original Vaio. I may have to go for its big brother the Tablet S, but at a "massive" 7" by 9.5" and 600g, I hope not.
