Posted on May 25, 2010 | No Comments
Maybe the standard Sony Vaio P is a bit pedestrian for your taste. It's just not enough, right? Well then. How about one covered with crocodile skin? It's supposed to be a digital clutch anyway.

Their F-Series, starting at $999 and going all the way up to about $1700 on a good day, is a monster but doesn’t feel huge and his heavy without being a boat anchor. With only about two hours of battery life you’re not going [...] -

Posted on April 28, 2010 | No Comments
Remember Sony Japan's unusual promotion campaign for an 8-inch netbook (or ultra-mobile PC, as the Japanese like to call these devices) from December 2008?

And it appears the marketing coup helped Sony actually sell the Vaio P, as the company today updated its Japanese site with yet another teaser for yet another "mysterious" netbook.

Entry level Sony VAIO M netbook coming
Posted on March 4, 2010 | No Comments
When Sony’s VAIO W was announced, its $500 price tag seemed a bit steep for a 10-inch netbook. You did get some nice extras, though, like a 1366x768 resolution and built-in Bluetooth. It seems that Sony’s gunning for the lower-end netbook market with the recently-discovered VAIO M—a 10.1-inch affair with an Atom N450 CPU and 1024x600 screen.

The fastest netbook in the world
Posted on January 21, 2010 | No Comments
This is technically a DIY project, but I don't know how many people are actually capable of doing this modification. What's so scary about it? I dunno, shoehorning a Core Duo processor into a Sony Vaio UX17, one of the smallest netbooks available. Obviously this is a one off, so don't expect to see it for sale any time soon.

Sony VAIO Z Series: Core i7 CPU, four SSDs, 13.1 inches at 3.2 pounds
Posted on January 19, 2010 | No Comments
Carbon fiber, people. That’s the ticket right there. It’s the miracle substance that allows Sony to stuff super fast components into a 13.1-inch laptop while keeping the weight at around 3.2 pounds. And while most ultraportable notebooks favor style over substance, the impending VAIO Z Series due from Sony in March will feature an Intel Core i7 CPU, NVIDIA graphics, 1920x1080 screen resolution, and the ability to stack four solid state drives in a Raid 0 configuration. Again, all at just over three pounds.
