Engadget —
... Atom Z250, 2GB of RAM, standard HDD with optional SSD, GPS, and a 3G WWAN card, all for about €700 ($974).

According to those guys, the Vaio P has an Intel 1.33 GHz processor which makes one think it is the slow Atom processor. Not an auspicious beginning if true. They also report the P will come with 2 GB of RAM, a HDD (no capacity mentioned) or an optional SSD, GPS and UMTS.

... It seems that the tiny, WinXP machine is going to cost ya around a grand - €700 or $974 to be exact.
