On Jan. 7, 2009 – Sony managed to take the wraps off the world’s lightest 8-inch notebook— the new
VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC.
This tiny notebook takes aim at the
netbook market. Around the size of a normal envelope and roughly as thin as a cell phone, the VAIO Lifestyle PC weighs just 650 grams and is small enough to slip into a most people’s jacket pocket or handbag. We must admit, you need to have above average pocket size, but in general this is mostly true.
What is truly amazing is that the
Sony P Series Notebook has a super-high resolution screen (1600x768), which is LED backlit. This makes viewing entire webpages as well as Excel documents a breeze.
These little notebooks are stylish enough to take anywhere. The
Sony P Series Notebook is is available in an array of eye-catching colours, including garnet red, emerald green, onyx black, crystal white and classic black. You can also purchase matching carrying cases and some colour-coordinated mice. This really completes the entire look.
From a technology perspective, the Sony P Series Notebook incorporates built-in wireless WAN 3G Mobile Broadband, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies.
The unit features up to four hours of battery life with the included standard capacity battery and eight hours with the large capacity battery, which is sold separately.
The PC comes with the Windows Vista® operating system, supporting office applications and all the software programs routinely found in full-size notebooks. A windows arrangement utility has been added to easily organize all open documents or websites with one touch, positioning them neatly alongside each other on a single screen.
