One of the hottest laptops at CES 2009 was a very very tiny laptop called the Sony Vaio Lifestyle PC or also known as the P-series. This laptop/netbook is less than an inch thick and can easily be put in your jacket pocket.
It has built-in GPS and mobile broadband. You can add a solid state drive for another couple of hundred dollars and it runs on Windows Vista. The Sony Vaio P-series Lifestyle laptop is certainly something to get excited about.
Dan Ackerman gave the new Sony laptop a hands on review and covered most of the specs, you can see a video of the quick review below this post. One amazing feature is that the laptop is so small that it does not have a track pad, instead you have to use a stick in the middle of the keyboard.
While the UK price and availability hasn’t been announced yet, we do know that it will cost $899 in the US.

Yes. It does have built-in GPS and mobile broadband. But what is the use? The instant mode button to internet DOES NOT work with the mobile broadband card that Sony shipped with. Rather, it works with “LAN” or “wireless network” environment. According to Sony’s tech support, there is no problem with “instant mode” feature since it works as long as it’s cabled to other computers. Besides, it was pointed out to me that I can get internet access on the road logging into window vista. It takes full 3 minutes to boot up– according to other user, 5 minutes.
Shame on you, Sony. Go lightly to where? To home or office but not on the road.
I love this Vaio Laptop, my cosine bought one from this Vaio Brand Laptops Website and I think they have the best price on the market.
