CES 09: Sony Launches World's Lightest 8-Inch Netbook

08 Jan, 2009, 2:15 pm IST | by Gagan Gupta | Netbooks

Sony today took the wraps off the world’s lightest 8-inch notebook - the new Vaio P Series Lifestyle PC.

About the size of a business envelope and roughly as thin as a cell phone, the Vaio Lifestyle PC weighs just 1.4 pounds and is small enough to slip into a jacket pocket or handbag while integrating full-PC features.

The model incorporates a high-resolution, 1600 x 768, LED backlit 8-inch ultra-wide display (diagonal). It also incorporates Sony’s Xbrite-Eco LCD technology, producing images in brilliant detail for razor-sharp viewing on-the-go.

The unit is available in an array of eye-catching colors, including garnet red, emerald green, onyx black, crystal white and classic black. Matching carrying cases and Bluetooth color-coordinated mice are available to complete the look.


“The VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC is your portal to the world, delivering entertainment and computing in a head-turning device that’s small enough to put in your pocket,” said Mike Abary, senior vice president of VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics. “Designed for the fashionista in all of us, it’s the ideal companion.”

The PC comes with the Windows Vista operating system, supporting office applications and all the software programs routinely found in full-size notebooks. The Vaio P Series Lifestyle PC will retail for about $900 in the US in February this year. No information on the Indian launch yet.
