Sony Vaio W eco-friendly edition unveiled
Sony has gone eco-friendly with the launch of their latest netbook, which is actually an update to the existing Sony Vaio W. So, what makes the latest netbook by Sony more eco-friendly than the other netbooks? First is the use of mercury-free display with LED backlight; use of recycled plastic parts; eManual and a carry bag which saves 10% carbon dioxide emissions.
While most of the aforementioned reasons may sound pretty baseless and won’t be affecting the buyer’s decision much, Sony says that it will be offering a “special price” of this Vaio W. Let’s hope they come up with some more lucrative feature because going eco-friendly won’t fetch them more customers.
Specs have been improved in a sense that it now comes with Intel Atom N450 processor (1.66GHz) instead of Intel Atom N280. Other specs: Windows 7 starter, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 10.1-inch display, 1366×768 resolution, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth, Webcam. Weighs 1.32kg with its small 3-cell battery
Commentary: Make the 6-cell battery as standard, without bringing any change in the price tag.
Sony PCG-21212L is the SONY VAIO W plus Gobi2000 WWAN radio
A ‘new’ Sony Vaio W netbook was noticed at FCC. The only feature that is new in this upcoming netbook is the that it now has built-in 3G WWAN. It will come equipped with Qualcomm’s Gobi 2000 WWAN radio to let you surf over the HSDPA network.
Rest of its specifications are likely to remain intact. Sony Vaio W is the SONY’s first cheap netbook that comes with Atom N280 CPU, 250GB HDD, 2GB RAM and Windows 7 Starter. The only thing not to like about this netbook that it comes bundled with 3-cell battery. Try getting one with 6-cell battery and you will be all set.

Sony Vaio W clone – AVIA N101 Netbook
Weibu N10Aan ION powered netbook that resembles a VAIO W was seen a few days back, in Japan and now, it being displayed in China.
It’s the replica of the Sony Vaio W netbook. From the inside, it is a standard netbook with NO exceptional specs, by which we mean that it comes with an Intel Atom N270 processor, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM and so on. It is currently being available in black color and its pricing information is not known at the moment.
Also, we do not think that the company that is manufacturing this clone can get into trouble as no-where it is using the VAIO branding.
Intel relaxes its rules for Netbook displays – Higher resolution (1366×768) now allowed on N-Series Atom netbooks
N-Series Intel Atom processors were allowed to be used in netbooks with display resolutions upto 1024×600. Now, Intel has relaxed the rules a bit and has allowed the netbook manufactures to use up to 1366 x 768, which is the same resolution as sported by the newly released, Sony VAIO W. However, this change does not applies to netbooks more than 10.2-inches. Only the netbooks that have screen size upto 10.2-inches can use the high resolution along with Atom N270 or N280 CPU.
