The known specs are as follows. 1024×600, 8.9″ screen, larger touch pad, camera and mic mounted at the top of the screen, same size keyboard as original, speakers are on the bottom of the computer, 1 gig of ram, 12 gigs of SSD storage. What remains unknown is what processor it will use but it is susepected that the new Atom could be used (bringing performance up a good amount).

Wow, it must be nice to have the money to afford sony’s small laptops. Is the Eee revolutonary? Hell no! What it did offer was something that nobody had yet, a cheap umpc of decent quality. If this thing comes out at around 600 dollars I see it falling on its face because for that money it’s in a league it simply can’t compete in. If they keep it around 500 and ditch the overpriced 8G then it will probably do very well. Time will tell. However I can’t really knock the 701.

Seriously, John, you would do well to supplant the cynical elitism with a features list. Can it run XP right out the box? What is the resolution? How about the battery life?
