The VAIO P's designer spills some secrets




Engadget has an article on the interesting origins of the Sony VAIO P, notwithstanding its pokey Vista install.

Designer Takuma Tomoaki, in an interview with Chinese site cool3c. Of particular note, the P was inspired by the Mini Cooper, which he called "small and sophisticated," and the entire design was dictated by the size of the "smallest usable keyboard." In addition, the 1600 x 768 screen res was aimed at HD movies, since it can play back 720p content natively.
