I am having a lot of fun playing with the Sony VAIO P ultra-portable notebook. One feature that Sony has included on the VAIO P is the InstantON mode, which lets you boot into a stripped Linux environment without having to boot into Windows. InstantON has a media player that includes a photo viewer, music player and video player for entertainment purposes. There is also a bare-bones web mode that includes the Mozilla web browser, Skype and IM functionality. Take a look at InstantON on the Sony VAIO P to get some insight into what the buzz for these instant-on features that are starting to appear on netbooks and other notebooks is all about. In the video you’ll also see how long it takes to both shut down and boot the VAIO P into Windows Vista.
