What?! VGN-P13H only running on 1.33GHz? Bad.
Hahaha, 50 and 70K for a netbook? No thanks Sony, no matter how you call them, that thing still acts and looks like a netbook to us.
Sony VAIOs are really expensive
man i want those T_T
Hope it comes with a trauma insurance.
gotta hand it to Sony for making very nice-looking devices that are sooo expensive. They think they’re Apple.
too expensive computers but it is great..
Ouch! Why the hell are they expensive? Comparing it to MSI WIND with almost half the price of Sony VAIO P,I would get MSI WIND with more feature and better screen. Sigh, this is the problem with japanese companies, they make practical things look impractical and unnecessary.
I think it’s rightly priced. They dont have to think they’re Apple, they obviously are better than Apple.
masisira lang mata ko jan, sobra liit!
yes someone please stick this in their back pocket, it will be stolen in no time.
pricey.
60 K? bili na lang ako ng macbook yung white. ahehe.
si Sony talaga. mahal.
It should be priced at 30T only so it can be a competitive product. Those netbooks that priced at 24t and higher are not affordable. I will just buy a standard laptop.
that’s ridiculously expensive. I can’t even consider that a true computer. A toy for Php 50,000?? I’m so not going to buy that. I don’t understand why companies keep on making these worthless and almost non-functional computers that can’t even handle office 2007.
Coz they’re Sony. They have this stupid mentality that if you build it, they will buy it. Honestly with that price point, Sony’s just being downright offensive, especially with the economic crises hitting us dead in the face.
I used to be such a big fan of Sony Vaio. My last laptop was a SV but it didn’t last long
and I am such a careful owner. Will see how long my MacPro lasts.
for the very rich only… =(
70k for an Atom powered laptop?
That is a bit too much. Even for a lifestyle-line unit. Too much.
I think it defeats Sony’s purpose in releasing this — nah ah, I highly doubt P will save the company.
NAKU! 70K?! Kamahal na calculator naman yan!
all sony products are overpriced here in the philippines. really. i assume you can get one of those in sg at 10-15k less than the ph price.
acer aspire one, asus eepc and hp mini are less than half the price. all are running with 1.6Ghz Atom N270 Processor with 160Gb hard disks.
anyone tried the red fox wizbook? those things are priced at a third of what sony’s offering and they pretty much have the same specs.
i will have to agree though the sony vaio p is VERY PRETTY. that i gotta give them…
@Unknown Soldier – hahahaa! you made me laugh!
really, times 2 sa pinas, w8 lang natin e release sa abroad ma bibili natin yan ng half the price thru ebay.. hehehe
like my T200 dati, its SRP is 30,000+ pero nabili ko ng 15k. Matagal na yun, ngayon mas mura na.
We just need to be patient and wait. Mabilis naman mag mura mga sony gadgets. yay!

i like the vgnz series… very robust among all sony vaio series… this P series needs the dpi settings to be adjusted to its smallest settings just for you to click on large installer application… all vaio notebook are really expensive… thats why sony came here in the philippines late than other country… i really want the vgnz…
Sony Vaio P Series Laptop for 35K (Brand New)

for those who said it can’t even use Office 2007, better put a plunger to your mouth first, it can even run hi-end development applications.

the beauty of the laptop will surely conflict with the beauty of my budget
WAHHH 3 YEARS FROM NOW YOUR 50K IS JUST WORTH 10K. NOT A GOOD INVESTMENT. MAYBE FOR THOSE WHO GOT A LOT OF MONEY AND FOR THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT.
