Sony VAIO P – Windows 7 Drivers and How to get everything working

SONY VAIO P originally shipped with the Windows Vista and later on, after few months, we saw official Windows XP variants of it. Windows Vista, out of box, ran pretty badly due to the large amount of crapware installed by Sony. I went for a fresh Windows Vista installation (at that time) and tweaked the heck out of it and it ran pretty fine. Now that the Windows 7 is finally here, it made perfect sense to try it out. I installed it via USB method that I mentioned here

SONY VAIO P – 3 new models running Windows 7: VGN-P39VL/Q, VGN-P31ZK/R and VGN-P31ZK/Q

SONY has silently unveiled 3 new models that run Windows 7 OS. The VGN-P39VL/Q is the new top of the line model that comes with the mighty Intel Atom Z550 CPU that runs at the clock speed of 2GHz. It uses 128GB SSD for storage and has the usual 2GB RAM. It will be available in only one color: black. OS: Windows 7 Professional

Second and third models are VGN-P31ZK/R and VGN-P31ZK/Q, both of which run slightly slower Intel Atom Z540 processor (1.86GHz). Both run Windows 7 Home Premium, which means they won’t have XP compatibility mode. They use 80GB hard disk drive instead of SSD. VGN-P31ZK/R will be available in red color and VGN-P31ZK/Q in black.

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

Solution: Vertical Alignment button not working in SONY VAIO P

In case, you have a fresh Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation on your VAIO P, you might have noticed that SONY has NOT provided any application/driver to get it working. Actually, there is no need for a driver at all. While lurking online, I was actually able to find a solution to this problem. Here is how to do it:

SONY VAIO X quick analysis on basis of pictures – direct from Japan’s CEATEC 2009

It is not an unknown fact that SONY has done a great job with the extremely elegant-looking Sony Vaio X. When one looks at it, he/she immediately gets the impression of how sleek this netbook/mini-notebook is. Apart from its nicely designed keyboard, it has a great touchpad with two left and right click buttons too that do not require much effort to register clicks.

Thanks to the great engineers at SONY, they did not go for the flaps to make it look streamlined (like the case in ASUS EEE 1008HA). The two USB 2.0 ports are fully exposed to the user. Also present is a the Kensington lock, power port and earphone jack.

SONY VAIO Pocket Style PC “P series” review

Few months back, we did the unboxing of the VAIO P. However, since then, we did not ever published its full review. We have criticized VAIO P heavily (see THIS), but we need to understand one fact that is VAIO P is a crop of its own.

Anyway, been using VAIO P from past few months, I am now fully aware of its pros and cons. Now, how is the immediate out of box experience. To be honest, you immediately feel its slowness as soon as you take it out of the box. It took it 30 minutes to take me to the desktop! Then, even after the desktop was loaded, it was very slow.
