Vaio W: Sony makes a proper netbook

After the pocket-sized Sony Vaio P which they didn’t want to call a netbook, Sony is finally coming out with a proper netbook — the Vaio W.

The specs are pretty standard too — Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0 and a nice 10.1 inch screen with 1366×768 resolution. It’s gonna be slightly lighter at 2.62lbs (I think it’s going to have a similar form factor as the HP Mini 110).

Good looking.. Kaso, what to expect, Sony yan.. Mahal. Di naman din convincing specs.. Might as well go with asus, msi or hp.

Sony stands for quality and durability,That’s why most of their products are beyond the reach of the “masa”.My Sony MHC GR 7 has been rocking my ears for 12 years now…

I don’t think it’s too expensive considering that it’s Sony.
