    sony is bringing a surprise on 9 januari ^^

    Lets just hope its not a simple touchscreen lapop, all we want is decent grafic cards and something better than ddr2 ram, but you can already bet its going to be usseles and overexpensive.

    I'm not sure, but I hear the NVIDIA Ion LE cards are supposed to be nice.

    But I don't quite understand the point of a decent GC in a 10" netbook. What exactly do you plan on doing on it that would require anything better than a stock GMA950?

    from what i've seen, read and heard, you can do some nifty gaming netbooks with ION graphics, but i think for sure that ION is available on 11-12" netbooks, anyways, i mean a price of $400-500 for a small nice netbook that plays high-def video's and COD MW(2?) i think ill be more than content with such features on a small form factor and not too hard on my pocket either :D
    Now if only Sony stays in that price range and comes out with an ION gpu netbook with something more than the P and W series. i wouldnt mind something similar to the TZ series :) but please Sony no more than $600, cuz not all ur customers are high business people who have money to throw around for an X series when they can get similar specs for $1,500 less, nice form factor tho ;) we too are Sony fans with considerate jobs and regular income and spending money and wanna buy your products if they're priced wisely.

    Well even it if will be cheap, it will have way less quality. Those new cheap nw series for example are nothing compared to the other models.

    From where it comes this comment? I have a couple of friends that they own a P, and they are very happy with it.
    Of course, if you think that you can play games with it... :confused:
