Sony Type P Pocket-Size PC

Now, if you can keep your eyes on the PCs….

The VAIO type P is a 634-gram (1.5 lbs) (width:245mm, depth:120mm, thickness:19.8mm) computer for the Japanese market.

The expected price for the consumer model is 100,000 yen. ($1100ish)

“VAIO type P is not a netbook. We plan to create a new niche and achieve 100% market share.”

Netbooks, or mini laptop computers account for about 20% of the personal computer market in Japan and Taiwanese makers have made inroads.

“We will release type P in 33 countries in North America and Europe as well as Russia and China, in collaboration with regional telecommunication services.”

Type P for the Japanese market is equipped with NTT DoCoMo’s high speed Internet connection service module sers can access the Internet at 7.2Mbps download speed.

The type P can be carried like a mobile phone with broadband connection. Makes texting a lot easier, eh?.

The consumer mode has:

1.  8-inch ultra-wide monitor (1600×768 resolution), ]

2. Intel Atom Z520 CPU as well as 60G byte hard disk and on-board 2G RAM.

3. Windows Vista Home Basic. (Guess, I am not interested)

4. Equipped with IEEE802.11b/g/n, NTT DoCoMo’s FOMA High Speed WAN connection

5. Bluetooth

6. GPS function is available on VGN-P80H/W and corporate models.

7. Battery lasts 4.5 hours.

Now you can put your eyes back where they were.

So, um, where do they put the Sony Chip?
