But wait… what’s that I see on the Sony Style product page? Up to *2* hours battery life….I thought those bad old days were over.

At least it has XP rather than Vista.

Not a bad device, has a cheaper keyboard, lower res screen, but still not bad for a cheap and cheerful option.

My MSI Wind and the Acer Aspire One come to mind and I’m sure there are many others. Not a differentiator on the Sony…

It has nothing to do with Microsoft, people buy what they want.
