Summary: Good small laptop, but too expansive!!!
Review: The Fujitsu has a simular product, and it is about $300~$500 less than this SONY TR1AP (of course not as stylish). I really like SONY TR1AP's small and stylish design, but this laptop is way too expansive for it's feature.

I think I will wait for a little while for the price to drop then I will change it to a 5 stars.

Summary: Best ultra laptop on the market!
Review: This laptop has made me way more effective!

If you're the busy Silicon Valley type needing to VPN into work to check email, etc. this is the laptop for you.

The WiFi works great and the sexy small size makes it really easy to log into work from almost anywhere. The screen is the best on the market - super bright and high res. The battery life is so long I don't mind cranking up the screen brightness to match the level its normally at when plugged in.

If you need to log into corporate domains or use Cisco as your VPN be sure to get the Sony TR1AP (XP Pro) model instead of the TR1A (XP Home). I bought the TR1A and trying running the Win XP Pro upgrade option to no avail (kept crashing at 34%). I ended up having to trade it back in and ordering the TR1AP to get Win XP Pro on it.

The 30 GB hard drive is partitioned into 2 15GB drives. I'm guessing they did this for the video capture option so you wouldn't accidently fill up your boot drive.

The Pentium M 900mhz CPU seems pretty speedy. I'm thinking about getting the memory upgrade to 1 gb since that'll probally make a bigger impact than anything else.
