The problem with those is that they're running Windows XP Pro. And while you _can_ install linux on them, I hear that drivers for the special hardware are harder to come by... Friend of mine has one, had to actually _buy_ a driver for the WiFi card etc. And: It's just no Mac, even when running linux with a decent Gnome installation. But they _are_ tempting, aren't they... Makes me wish they could run Mac OS X for Intel. But I'd rather see Apple make a subnotebook. Hence the thread - and hence the VAIOs don't answer my prayers...
