Sony announces VAIO W, the “Internet Book”
Sony has just announced the VAIO W, which sports the exact same specs as any other netbook in town. Not surprisingly, Sony is referring the VAIO W as “Internet Book” as Sony hates the word ‘netbook’. When the VAIO P was launched, Sony emphasized on the fact that VAIO P was not a netbook as it offered *better* features than the netbooks around. However, same cannot be said about their new netbook as it sports standard netbook specs (except for its high resolution screen).
Specifications:-
- 10.1-inch LCD (1366×768)
- Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz
- 1GB RAM
- 160GB HDD
- GMA 950
- W-LAN
- webcam
- Bluetooth
- Windows XP Home Edition
- 3.5-hour battery pack
- 267.8mmx27.5mx179.6mm
Sony has used the same keyboard that it uses in its latest VAIOs: chiclet-style keyboard, which is nice thing to know. It has made its debut in Japan and will soon be launched in other parts of the world. Expect the price to be around $630, which is around $200 than the other netbooks with similar specs. But hey, it is a Sony (Sony = Not cheap)
