Sony is such a lightweight — company unveils a 1.4-pound laptop
Hours before the doors opened at CES, Sony announced its Vaio P Series Lifestyle Notebook in an attempt to steal the wind out of the sails of every other netbook manufacturer at the show. Guess what: it worked.
Hours before the doors opened at CES, Sony announced its Vaio P Series Lifestyle Notebook in an attempt to steal the wind out of the sails of every other netbook manufacturer at the show. Guess what: it worked.
Available today for preorder (but not shipping until early February), the Vaio is a teeny 1.4-pound computer, complete with 8-inch screen, decent-sized QWERTY keyboard and four wireless technologies under the hood: Wi-Fi, WAN, Bluetooth and GPS. It even has a webcam tucked into the top-right corner of the svelte netbook, which is about the size of a narrow business envelope.
With prices starting at $900, users can choose up to 160GB of hard drive space (ideal for music, photos and videos) or a 64GB solid-state drive (better for documents).
It’s targeted at a female audience, Sony says, including one of five stylish colours to choose from: crystal white, classic black, onyx black, garnet red and emerald green.

If it is targeted to women, they missed on the execution – no pink version.
Hate to say it, but I bought a pink Acer netbook for my wife for Christmas – colour was her top concern, followed by weight and lastly the spec.
At 900 bucks, you could pick up a fully equipped PC, not sure I understand the pricing strategy.

any merchandise that's targeted at just a certain gender usually doesn't do too well…
