First sony VAIO P reviews
Posted on 12:35 PM by Shujah Ur Rehman
You can’t judge a netbook by its cover. With its amazing looks, the Sony VAIO P Series landed a spot on nearly everyone’s Best of CES list. But only a few days after the curtain came down, the first full reviews have been posted, and it looks like the “LifeStyle PC” may not be the showstopper it seemed.
It’s easy to see why so many tech journalists fell for the P Series. The extra-wide 8-inch display results in a netbook that is uniquely long and lean, weighing only 1.4 pounds. Despite its tiny size, it has a good keyboard and features not found in most netbooks such as a high-resolution display (1,600 x 768, in this case), integrated 3G and GPS. So far so good.
Then came the actual tests. How’s this for a list of “cons” for a netbook that starts at $900 from PC Magazine’s review:
Underpowered. Bloated with software. Three-cell battery yields only 2 hours of battery life. Needs another price adjustment.
