Try it out in a Sony Store first, would be my suggestion.  The Vaio
P's keyboard isn't all that great; at least in my opinion.  And the
screen resolution is huge for the screen size, which sounds great in
theory, but unless you have really good eyes, you'll have to bump up
the font sizes so that things will be readable, at which point the
1600x768 resolution is wasted.  Personally, I looked at the Vaio P,
and then looked at the price, chuckled, and left the Sony Store...

I will say that the HP MiniNote has a much better keyboard that the
Lenovo S10; I wish Lenovo had put a real keyboard on the S10.
