Sony Vaio P gets an Atom Z540 1.86GHz

The pocket-sized, ultralight Vaio P from Sony was also recently upgraded to include a faster 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 processor.

Two new models of the Sony Vaio P were introduced in the recent launching of their Summer 2009 laptop series.

Battery life maxes out at 3 hours while Sony added more colors — black, green, red, white and gold. Got to see a coupe of them during the launch and there were minor improvements in the keyboard but that’s it — the awkward pointing stick is still there.

Wishful thinking that Sony made this model a “little” more affordable.. maybe 5-10k higher than the regular 10″ netbook price… baka madami pa bumili..

Days are gone that a laptop unit becomes smaller means higher price… (thank you asus for introducing eeepc)

Get a 13″ MacBook Pro rather than this one. Too expensive for a machine running Windows.

Dumb pricing scheme again by Sony Philippines. No wonder they are not at the top. Anung ginagawa ng mga ‘marketing geniuses’ sa sony phils? Day dreaming? lols.
