Sony Enters Netbook Market With New Addition To Vaio Line
If you are a fan of the Sony Vaio line of computers and have been waiting for the company to roll out a netbook model in this line, wait no longer, because Sony will be unveiling a new netbook, the new W-Series, in August of 2009.
Although the introduction is late to the booming netbook market, Sony has said that it intentionally waited to produce a netbook as part of its product planning strategy.
Initial Netbook Launch Will Be in Japan
The new netbook will be launched in Japan at the beginning of August with the United States and Europe to follow shortly after the launch. The new Vaio netbook is expected to be offered in the price range of around $630 and will operate on a lower grade of specs than most Sony computers. It will utilize the Windows XP Home Edition operating system and will offer an upgraded and extremely responsive keyboard.
W-Series May Be Perfect for Sony Vaio Consumers
For Sony laptop fans that are unable to afford some of the full-sized Sony laptops and do not have the time to pursue other options such as a super free laptop, this nifty new netbook may be the answer.
Compared to other netbooks, the new Sony Vaio netbook will be priced on the high end of the spectrum. However, the netbook comes bundled with a nice array of software programs and other features not included in most of the netbooks on the market.
W-Series Vaio Netbook Overview
* Convenient Travel Size: In comparison to the competition which generally provides 8.9-inch screens, the new W-Series netbook will offer a 10.1 inch screen and will weigh approximately 2.6 pounds. This Netbook has the following measurements: 10.54” x 1.28” x 7.07.
* Battery Life: The new W-Series will come with a battery which should last 3.5 hours on average.
* Display Specs: The display specs on the W-series give other netbooks a run for their money with an impressive resolution of 1366 x 768 on a 10.1-inch screen. Most of the netbooks on the market are offering 1024 x 600. The W-Series also incorporates LED backlighting and the XBRITE-ECO LCD technology.
* Hardware: The W-Series will include hardware that is similar to that offered on other netbooks, such as: an Intel 1.66 GHz processor, 1GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive for storage, touchpad, built-in Web cam, microphone, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, and Intel High Definition Audio Sound System.
* Expansion Ports: The W-Series netbook has plenty of expansion ports, more than the average netbook on the market. Equipped with two USB ports, an SD card slot reader, a VGA port, and a Memory Stick Duo media slot using MagicGate, it is also called the Vaio W.
* Bluetooth: There is Bluetooth technology that gives you the option of a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection built into the Vaio W, which is not like many other netbooks.
* Available in Colors: Many colors inspired by food will be offered by the W-Series. Among the shades that are offered are brown, white and pink, symbolizing chocolate, cheesecake and raspberry flavors.
If you are searching for a quality netbook, and don’t mind paying more than you would for other notebooks, you might want the Sony Vaio W. So it is worth taking a look at when it is available for sale in August.
