Sony announces VAIO W… netbook!
Sony despised the netbook tag on its Vaio P but there’s no reason why we can’t say the same for the new Vaio W computer.
The Sony Vaio W has the following specifications:
- 10.1 inch 1366×768 LED backlit display
- 160GB hard drive
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor
- 1GB RAM
- Windows XP operating system
- Bluetooth
- 802.11 b/g/n WiFi
- VGA out port
- Two USB ports
- Ethernet port
- Integrated webcam
- MemoryStick/SD card reader (of course)
- 3-cell battery good for reported three hours
The keyboard is listed as 86% full size. While Sony is known for high quality products, I am not sure the price will be competitive given that there are so many other high quality alternatives available in 2nd, 3rd, and more generation from ASUS, MSI, and others.
The Sony Vaio W should be available in August for $499 and available in pink, white, and brown.
