It seems Sony approaching netbook market in different way. Recently they leaked its upcoming Vaio P-series which close to netbook specification: Intel 1.33GHz Processor and 8-inch display. As we know, common netbook coming with such processor and 8.9 or 10 inch screen. But if we look in details the P-series has more advance features, the screen boast 1600×768 resolution (using led backlit technology) compare to 1024×600 of common netbook; and running on Windows Vista instead of Windows XP.

Claiming that ‘It fits in a pocket’, I guess this compact laptop is the same netbook with better screen technology. And I’m sure it will cost you more compare to other netbooks available in the market. My prediction said it will be priced around $1,000 which you can buy an entry-level or cheap laptops with the same price.

The rumor said that Sony will show off the Vaio P-series for the first time at CES 2009 which will be held in Las Vegas next month. Configured with 60GB hdd or 128 SSD, the P-series will be available in three different colors. But I don’t think this new thing will influence you much in deciding to buy new laptops.
