...yes, Vaio T series isn't about hard drive size(although the current Vaio TT's have the largest possible SSD of any ultra portable at the moment: 256GB  ), it's about performance to portability ratio, and in that, they score well...... 
@Ofiaich, Vista=No no...I'd have thought these guys would have advised Win 7 over that(although it's not official yet, is it??)! And a damn nice machine, regardless(I believe you could get TX5's outside of Japan, not an exact spec match though)......

Hi Aware,
hope you are well!
I have been clearly told. via PM, forget Vista for this machine! Cycovision, as always helped me with quick and excellent advice !
I might actually sell this, spare original battery, long life battery, carrying case! but OS is Japanese. I guess that would be easy for you techy guys to sort out and installing an English OS would be easy for you ! Interested, Aware ?
I can then get myself another model whilst I am in Japan in March!

Meh, I'm more than happy with mine, its only 'portable' in the sense it's still a laptop, and will go in a bag, but I'd rather have a big one anyway.
17" widescreen, AMD Athlon 64 X2 1.7Ghz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, large-ish battery, DVD-rewriter, NVidia 7100M (rather than some naff Intel one), plays World of Warcraft just fine and is as quick as lightning for the Internet and other day to day tasks...was a smidge under £280 back in September  Now thats what I call performance to price ratio

@Ofiaich...many thanks for the offer(and also our conversation!:) ), however, on reflection a couple of things(i.e: tablet specs) mean it's not quite for me, unfortunately...... 
A big shame, as I've always wanted a 'T'(dribble)...but I need at least TX91 processor etc(pref. TZ's Dual core ones), if I'm not to take a technically backwards step from what I currently have! 
@James, all very well chap...but just like phones(e.g: i8510, or N85?? ), you can't have proper portability, and uber-hardware in the same machine -well, not at reasonable prices, anyway! Your 'beast' is probably ~3kilos, whereas all T series are ~1...yup, about the same as a bag of sugar - now that's portability......

Thats fair enough, and for people who need to put one in their pocket/handbag/whereever, then thats fine
I use mine as my main PC these days, so I need a big screen and full keyboard
Although, I still dont quite justify anything over £1000 on a laptop when in 3 years time it'll be either defunkt or slow and out of date Hence why my sub-£300 will last well for a few years yet

I guess, with prices of new ones so low, then my VAIO's second hand value is not so high....... as I would have hoped....
