Vaio - it's here!

I took delivery just now - it is SOOOO tiny. Looks very good in white too! More later this evening once I have played with it some more :)

Update: well, it took 2 hours to burn the recovery DVDs, but once done I could start my work. I uninstalled all the bloatware that came with it, reduced the number of Vista programs installed, reduced a lot of the special effects and threw out all of the google desktop type things. The result is a perfectly usable system with over 2 hours on a charge. I'm using Live Mesh to sync it with my other machines and Live Mail to get hotmail/gmail. So far I am very impressed...

Niiiiice! I'm in the market for something dinky to take round NZ and OZ later this year but I fear the Vaio doesn't come in at netbook prices ;-)

Hmmm - yes - you *could* get 3 netbooks for the price of this one - but, if you want the features you gotta spend the $$$ :)
