Whoa... this thing looks soopa-sweet. "Nearly pocketable," with a five inch 800X600 SVGA touch screen? I'll take two, please.

"Given that it boasts fairly typical notebook PC components--including a 1.1GHz Intel Pentium M 733 processor, 512MB of RAM, a 20GB, 1.8-inch hard drive, Wi-Fi and Microsoft's Windows XP Professional operating system--the Vaio U can also perform standard PC duties, such as sending e-mail."

For all of the curious out there (like myself), check out this review of one of these new Sony's. There are a TON of photos.

Geoff, "the Gas man" Gasior over at the Tech Report has been monkeying around down in the Damage Labs again. This time around, he's taken a P4 520, which runs at 2.8GHz stock, & pushed it all the way to 3.57GHz! Not only that, he did it on nothing but stock aircooling.

"Since the Pentium 4 500 line stretches from 2.8 to 3.6GHz, lower speed grades may have considerable overclocking headroom just waiting to be exploited. How much headroom? I got an extra 770MHz out of my Pentium 4 520 2.8GHz, which is quite comfortable running at 3.57GHz with stock air cooling—not bad for a chip that costs less than $160."

Now we're talkin'!! I really just don't see myself using/needing anything bigger than 32", mostly because my entertainment center couldn't accomodate anything bigger (more on that later). For $500, though... SIGN ME UP!

"Prices of 32-inch LCD-TV panels (especially for the US market) will fall to around US$500 in 2005, if production costs can be lowered by new backlighting technologies, according to AU Optronics (AUO) executive vice president Hsiung Hui."
