Sony's New Netbook

Sony today took the first step into the netbook market, introducing the Vaio W line of mini laptops.


Featuring a high-resolution 10.1-inch screen (1,366 by 768 pixels), Sony's new netbooks can fit more information on their displays than regular netbooks.


The Sony W measures 10.6 x 7-inch, is just over one inch thick (not including protrusion) and weighs just under 42 ounces.


Available in three colors (white, pink and brown for business users), the Vaio W comes with a processor running at 1.66 GHz, runs Windows XP, and has 1GB of RAM.


Sony's new netbook series will ease your pockets (or credit cards) of $500 when it goes on sale in August. Sony's Web site is open for pre-orders now.
