Re: Official Sony VAIO P-series Owners thread
The listing on the J&R site changed from "ships today" to "ships 8/8/11" after I ordered mine. I called them and they assured me that mine would be here tomorrow, I have since verified with UPS. What I am confused about is, if they still have more, why can't they ship them until Monday? Seems a bit fishy to me.

Re: Official Sony VAIO P-series Owners thread
What are you doing with your gold one? I think the Gold>Crocodile. My friend has a Crocodile CS and it's just hard molded plastic. But whatever floats your boat.

Re: Official Sony VAIO P-series Owners thread
I don't know, I am just impulsive
You are right, the plastic crocodile is not as nice as it looks in the pictures.
I will probably keep both, I like my toys.
The new one is faster for sure, although I really don't understand why the SSD is slower on the Gen2 P, doesn't make sense. I played around with the Crocodile P this AM a bit and it feels much faster with the 1.87Ghz ATOM. I will put a Broadcom Crystal HD in one of them and make it a portable Blu-ray machine. The new one has no WWAN, so I'll have to try and mod that in.Z1290X: Win8 | i7 | FHD | 2x Intel X18 RAID0 320GB | 8GB RAM | Premium Carbon | BIOS Hack | nVidia 3D Vision | Intel 6230 WiFi/BT 3.0HS | Gobi Unlocked | GTExpress WWAN | ViDock4+ GTX570 | DELL U3011 | Ext Batt | Z-Dock & VAIO USB Dock | VAIO BT Keyboard | Razor Orochi

Re: Official Sony VAIO P-series Owners thread
Hi there. Is anyone in here following the work of mmmsheen on the GMA500? Seems like most of the discussion is in the Vaio X thread.

Re: Official Sony VAIO P-series Owners thread
Same here. A bit of a performance improvement, but colours are a bit off and as you say brightness doesn't work.

Re: Official Sony VAIO P-series Owners thread
The Signature Crocodile P with the 1.86Ghz ATOM feels much more responsive than the VGN-P with 1.33Ghz ATOM. I like it very much.
