hello,
i run potato on a sony vaio picturebook (pcg-c1xs). i
luv it! the short, wide screen took some getting used
to, but once i got everything sized right, it's my fav
lapbox.
i haven't dealt with the camera and usb, yet. in the
meantime, though, i'm still having fun.
(the reason i bought it was for portability. i have
other lapboxes that are huge in comparison and they
feel like deskboxes sometimes when i have to lug them
around. but not with the picturebook--it's light, yet
powerful (p400), with lots of room (12gb) and has
great screen ram (4mb).)
hth.
bentley taylor.
