Sony’s just started a laptop-oriented event in NYC, but we just got our hands on
what look like unpublished web pages for the new VAIO X and VAIO CW and an updated VAIO L machines. All of ‘em now run
Windows 7, of course, but the big news is apparent confirmation that the VAIO X
will indeed
have a 2GHz Atom — although it’s listed at a “2GHz Intel Processor,” the
533MHz bus speed also listed pretty much gives it away. And no, you’re not
getting an Ion in this deal to make up for that starting $1,300 price tag —
it’s Intel GMA500 graphics all the way. You’re also getting an integrated
Verizon 3G card and both the standard and extended batteries, however. Still is
that insane? It’s probably insane. |
