Lots of info tonight about the VAIO P. Here we can see some pictures of what makes up the insides of the VAIO P. Check out a few of the shots below from PC User (thanks jkk), and a cool exploded view image on display at CES from Gizmodo. Head over to jkk or the PC User link for more pics.

Sascha of Netbooknews.de was impressed with this. $199 for a nice bit of design and 8 hours battery life. Pegatron are a subsidiary of ASUS. It’s showing…. Press release below but take a look at the videos at Netbooknews first. Credits to Notebooks.com.

Chippy already dropped the size comparison with SizeEasy, but here is a great shot from SonyStyle showing the dimensions of the device all around and giving you a quick hardware tour from a few different angles.

It might not be available immediately, but you won’t need to wait too long. Pre-ordering the VAIO P through SonyStyle.com reveals a release date of “on or about” 2/3/09. There are several SKUs to choose from on the site; for the few that I checked, the date was the same.

Sony has gone all out officially introducing the VAIO P on SonyStyle.com.

It is strange especially because Sony’s VAIO UX series was probably more pocketable than the brand new VAIO P.

The mystery has been solved. The VAIO P is a laptop form-factor device that carries a pretty heavy pricetag compared to similarly sized devices. I think I’ll call it a premium netbook. I generally reserve ultra mobile PC for computers that aren’t laptop form-factor. Why premium? The price of course. Most people associate the term netbook with small, simple, and low-cost. Anyway… Engadget has some of the first hands on videos of the VAIO P in action. As you might notice, the high resolution 1600×768 screen prompts a very wide […]
