Sony Introduces a Premium-Priced Netbook

netbook_600 Sony Introduces a Premium-Priced Netbook

The new Sony Vaio P series Lifestyle PC is lighter than most laptops at 1.4 pounds and is MacBook Air-thin at less than an inch. It is not quite 10 inches wide with a bright eight-inch LCD screen. Like a laptop, the P uses a 1.3-HHz Intel processor. The extra inches give it a more comfortable keyboard than the typical paperback-size netbook. Sony says it will go four hours on a battery charge. It can be configured with either a hard drive or solid-state storage. With 3G mobile broadband, like a smartphone, and Wi-Fi, like a PC, it begins to blur the distinctions between devices.

The most basic model will be available for $900.
