Since you're too new I can't PM you, but I'm looking to get rid of my VGN-P788K/Q (Black). Perhaps you can PM me if you want more details.

Why not post it in the NBR MarketPlace? I'm sure you'll be able to find a buyer for it. I've just sold my VAIO VGN-P688E/Q notebook in the NBR MarketPlace this week.

To be honest, I've been putting it off too much. I need to get off my and do it!

Anyone know where you can get a VPCP118KX/B (2GHz model) ?

Watch eBay like a hawk, and pray it shows up.

Thanks, had a feeling that might be the case....

Saving your search and getting a daily email of new listings is a lot easier than watching like a hawk. I've been doing that for two or three months and have only seen about three 2 gig models listed. The 1.8 gig models are slightly more common. But most of the listings are for 1.3 or 1.6 ones. The last 2 gig model to come up was in the UK and it went for £480. It was a P11Z9E/B. I don't know whether it would work with a US SIM.

Good suggestion and info, thanks!

Windows 8 Dev Preview runs great on the P, just make sure to install the EMGD Drivers, you'll have to set Setup.exe to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7. Once the good GFX drivers are loaded eight runs great. Pretty much everything else runs out of the box. Love it!

Thanks for the info.....

Just out of curiosity, what is it you like about Win8, performance, features or ??
