Sony Vaio P Hands-on and Live from the Sony Building!



Here are 59 pictures of Sony's latest bombshell, their first high-end Netbook.

Specs :

Vista Home Premium
Atom Z520 @ 1.33GHz or with a Z530 (1.6GHz) / Z540 (1.86GHz)
2GB of RAM
60GB of HDD or up to 128GB of SSD
8” UWXGA Screen with a stunning 1600x768 resolution
WiFi B/G/N
a 1.3Mpix Camera Module
WAN and GPS (in Option)
for just 639g and 245 x 19.8 x 120 mm


Our first impression is pretty good, as usual the overall design is stunning, well built, and the keyboard is fully useable. We felt a solid Netbook in our hands, but we had a hard time with the stick which seems to have a mind of its own...

Performance wise we had some trouble watching Dailymotion HD Video, however, Sony's staff took on this problem and showed us a nice Full HD trailer running smoothly on the Vaio P with Windows Media Player (they had to close all open software). As for boot time... not up to expectations, Vista is still a resource hog and installing 7 on this beast may be the best thing to do.

Give us a little more time to release our video of this shiny new Vaio P... Meanwhile if you are interested in this device, you can pre-order it online here

Thanks for the review, it looks impressive.

How is the build quality, does it feel a solid netbook or more rather plastically?

It has a great feel to it. Very solid. For me the screen is too small, but HD playback was impressive. Certianly the bees knees for portability though.

i hate how the space bar in general is getting smaller... computer makers need to remove that windows start key and lengthen the space bar!

You can get the English keyboard which does away with the various Japanese-input keys.

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these. Word to the wise: Sony Japan is offering the P with up to 1.86ghz (in addition to 1.60ghz and 1.33ghz), while Sony UK has just 1.60/1.33ghz options, and Sony US has only 1.33ghz. These are just for the pre-order models, so it could change once Configure-to-order options come out, but those that want to pull the trigger early might do well to import one from Japan.

I wasn't quite sure what the ports were on the left and right side. My guess is that on the left there is a USB and audio out port? But what was on the right? Any other ports to speak of?

The windows start key is on a large majority of keyboards. I'm looking at my Logitech keyboard and it has it. Bought it in Los Angeles at Office Depot.

I remember the good ole days when the space bar took up almost all of the bottom portion of the keyboard and there was no Windows start button.
