No 24-hr battery life for Sony Vaio X
In Japan at CEATEC 2009, ultraportable Sony Vaio X is (again) being displayed. Although we still do not know much about its processor, but we have come to know that its claim to have a 24 hour battery is wrong. The VAIO X won’t be sold with any such battery.
A larger capacity battery that should run for a long time will be made available separately. The standard battery which the VAIO X comes with does NOT offer any sort of all day battery life and stick out from bottom ruining its slim and sleek profile

Weibu, a Japanese manufacture, has unveiled Weibu N10A netbook, that comes with an 10.1-inch display (1024×600) and Nvidia’s ION chipset. It retails for an affordable $556, which is a fine price considering the fact it packs an ION chipset.

It is surprising to see Microsoft now allowing the use of nettop processors in netbooks. However, battery life is a big question mark as nettop processors are not as power-frugal as the ones used in usual netbooks.
