MANILA, Philippines - Sony will soon introduce a "pocket-style" laptop that will be small enough to be held by one hand and as thin as a cellphone.
The VAIO P will weigh 594g to 620 grams, depending on the model.
However, unlike the netbooks, the new notebook has discarded the mousepad and will use a pointing stick, the Philippine office of Sony said.
The laptop, which already made its worldwide debut at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, will become commercially available in Manila on February 25.
The laptop will have two models, a 60-gigabyte HDD-based VGN-P13H priced at P49,999 and a 64-gigabyte SSD-based VGN-P15G which is being retailed at P69,999, the Philippine office of Sony said.
The unit has a 1600 x 768, LED backlit 8-inch display and also incorporates LCD technology with anti-reflection coating. It is available in four colors: red, green, black, and white.
Based on Windows Vista, the VAIO P has Instant Mode that directly launches into Sony's Xross Media Bar interface for quick boot up and access to music, video, photos, and the Web.
Other specs include a built-in webcam, noise-canceling technology/headphones (only VGN-P15G), built-in wireless LAN 802.11b/g/Draft n, and Bluetooth.
The VAIO P marks Sony's entry into "unchartered" territory, boldly proclaiming that it is the first to put out a pocket-size full-featured notebook that is small enough to grip with one hand.
The new product "will cultivate a new category that will bring expansion to the VAIO business," Komei Nosaka, senior sales manager at Sony Philippines, said in a press statement.
"We believe that there is demand and we can create the demand for taking out the usability of PC outdoors," stated Nosaka, adding that the product development for VAIO P started 18 months ago. - GMANews.TV
