CES: Sony VAIO P is Slim WVGA Netbook
Techtree News Staff, Jan 08, 2009 1258 hrs ISTMeasuring less than an inch, sporting 8-inch 1600x768 screen and 3G support, the netbook will sell for $900 (Rs. 43,700)
Sony announced VAIO P series netbook, equipped with Verizon WWAN 3G mobile broadband, at the ongoing CES 2009 expo. The netbook will begin shipping in February at price of $900 (Rs. 43,700).
The netbook has a unique 8-inch LED backlit screen with 2.08:1 aspect ratio, giving 1600x768 pixel resolution with full keyboard.
Measuring just under an inch and weighing less than 1.4 pounds, VAIO P looks good for bloggers and writers. Its unique design makes it easy to slide inside your overcoat pocket or bag. VAIO P sports 1.6GHz CPU (might be Intel Atom) and 128GB SSD instead of HDD. Running Windows Vista, VAIO P also features XMB interface (XrossMediaBar) for faster access to key functions.
This netbook also includes WiFi 802.11n, GPS and Bluetooth for connectivity options.
Incidentally, the information about VAIO P leaked out at Sony Style store last month. For a netbook, VAIO P manages to stand out from other competitors like Asus Eee PC, MSI Wind, Dell Mini 9, Acer Aspire One and Lenovo S10.
Aimed at the lifestyle audience looking for high-speed Internet connectivity on the move, this netbook is a bit over-priced and will take a while to reach Indian markets.
