Sony VAIO P gets unboxed

, Jan 15th 2009 Discuss [3]

SlashGear may have a Sony VAIO P in the house, but what it didn't come with was any retail packaging.  As such, we've had to wait to see a full unboxing, and the guys at Akihabara are the first to oblige.  It's unclear whether theirs is the 1.33GHz or 1.86GHz version currently available to order in Japan (but not in the US).

, Jan 14th 2009 Discuss [4]

The new Sony VAIO P “ultraportable” is not suppose to start shipping in the US till February, but from the looks of it those who are dying to conceal one in their coat pocket or even carry it around in their back pocket for show can not pre-order theirs from the Sony Style store.

Sony Vaio P catches some flack

, Jan 12th 2009 Discuss [3]

One of Sony's favorite things to say about the Vaio P is that it can fit in your pocket.  The prospect of having such a small device intrigued many people and made the Vaio P highly anticipated going into CES.  Good news?  The Vaio P seems like a great device.  Bad news?  It barely fits in your pocket, and Sony is paying the price.

Japanese Sony VAIO P with 1.86GHz CPU hits importers

, Jan 10th 2009 Discuss [1]

Import specialists Dynamism have begun taking pre-orders for the Japanese version of the Sony VAIO P ultraportable, complete with its 1.86GHz Intel Atom processor.  The US version of the notebook has a slower 1.33GHz CPU which, as we discovered recently, leads to some disappointing benchmark results.  For $1,549, though, you can have the 1.86GHz processor, together with the 64GB SSD, in the Japanese P version.  As you might expect, though, there are a few caveats making this a tricky decision.

When you can count the top gadgets of CES on the fingers of one hand, Sony’s new VAIO P Digital Lifestyle PC certainly figures high on that list. SlashGear was invited to an exclusive Sony event this week and given one of eight pre-production units to test out over the next two weeks; I’ve been carrying the VAIO P instead of my second-gen Apple MacBook Air (reviewed here) and in advance of our full review have got some first impressions.

, Jan 7th 2009 Discuss [1]

Sony today officially announced the VAIO P Lifestyle PC, their answer to the popular netbook niche.  The $900 1.4lb ultraportable measures roughly as long as a business envelope, and has integrated WAN WiFi b/g/n, LAN and Bluetooth with Verizon 3G EV-DO.  It’s around 10-percent smaller than the VAIO TT.

, Jan 6th 2009 Discuss [0]

The folks over at Engadget seem to think that the device they snapped a picture of here is the fabled Sony VAIO P, a super small netbook we took a look at late last month.  In case you don't remember, Sony claimed that the P "fits in a pocket". Read The Full Story

VAIO P Netbook: “It fits in a pocket”, says Sony

, Dec 25th 2008 Discuss [2]

It looks like Sony is really jumping into the Netbook business.  All the teasing comes to almost a climax today when the company released specs and a picture of what they’re calling the Sony P or P-series.  According to SonyStyle, the P stands for “pocket”.  Whether the P fits in my pant pocket or not, I can’t wait to get my hands on a unit; hopefully sooner than later.

Sony VAIO LV all-in-one PC review

, Nov 28th 2008 Discuss [0]

When first announced back in September, the Sony VAIO LV-series was described as a High-Definition PC/TV.  That blurring of distinctions between computer and entertainment gives a good idea of how the company envisages their all-in-one slotting into your lifestyle; a relatively rare HMDI input, allowing external sources to use the LV as a 1080p-capable display, helps single the system out even further.  Are TV tuners, Blu-ray and Dolby Digital surround sound enough to let the VAIO LV replace your current HDTV?
