Sony has updated its Vaio P line of netbooks. The new models will have Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional as against the previous models which had Windows Vista. Sony has also upgraded the hardware. The new specifications aren’t totally new. Many of them were already available on Japanese models.
The upgraded models will run on Intel Atom Z5xx series processors clocking at up to 2GHz. They will also have up to 256GB of solid state flash storage. All models in the series have 8 inch display with 1600 x 768 pixels.
The processor is still an Atom Z5xx series processor, and it seems, Sony has no intention of upgrading it to the better N2xx series processor. The integrated GMA 500 graphics delivered reasonable performance during some demo sessions, but don’t expect it to handle high end games.
The biggest problem with the Sony Vaio P – its price – however remains unsolved. Even the cheapest models with a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 CPU, 2GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive still cost around $849.99.
