The only thing about the Vaio is the price, but the same problem exists with the UMPCs.
For now, I'm sticking with my Dell Dimension desktop and my X5.

That's what I do with my Dell Latitude X1 when I'm at home. I have a docking station with ext HD, DVD burner, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and large lcd display. The laptop has a 12" screen and is only 2.5lb. It's so light that I sometimes forget I'm carrying it in my little slingpack.
I wouldn't want my PPC to be any bigger than the axim. Otherwise, there's no point to having a pocket pc. Yet, it would be nice if a PPC could keep its form factor, have the performance of an UMPC (e.g., running XP), and still stay under $600. That's my wish for the near future.
