Sony Vaio P Clone Can’t Compete with the Original [Clones]
So, the Sony Vaio P has a clone. Congrats, Sony! Too bad the mimicry ends with the aesthetics:
The appearance is spot on, but the insides are decidedly sub-par. The Atom processor is a less powerful than the processor offered in the Vaio P, and the memory maxes out at 1GB. If you’re comparing, that’s a full GB short of the original.
Since this is a clone however, the price is really the only area where one could say it “competes” with Sony’s premium-priced Vaio P.

The clone offers a 160GB for about $300, as well as a $380 model with 350GB storage, 2Gb ram and 3G.

The appearance is spot on? Far from it. More bulky, less “rounded” and much, much uglier.

2Gb of RAM?! That’s awful, that’s only like 256MB.

Do people buy these knockoffs? That are aware of the source material…that is.

@Fanwashere: That’s Sony design, honey.

Ok, so its a netbooks with standard netbook specs and cheaper than the VAIO whose style it apes.
Looks like a winner as far as netbooks are concerned. Unless there is a glaring issue, like when it boots it simultaneously calls you girlfriend and tells her you’re leaving her, I don’t really see the problem.
Oh thats right. Regardless of whether its solid gear or not, because it looks like something more expensive while being cheaper its crap as far as the writers at giz are concerned.
Snobs.

Cheap Knockoff Worse Than Original! Film at 11.

@LeftClicker: Ahh, but they complain about the 1GB of RAM in slide 2 and tell you you can get it with 2GB in slide 3.

@Kaiser-Machead: “The clone offers a 160GB for about $300, as well as a $380 …” On the right.

So obviously the innards are worse, but how much worse?
