New Sony VAIO P11 Dissected, Reviewed and Priced for the US

Posted on 11 May 2010, Last updated on 11 May 2010 by

dissected Jkk spotted that the Sony VAIO P11 that was just announced yesterday has already been ripped apart by a Japanese site called PlusD (page in Japanese).

Additionally, Joanna Stern has already dropped a full Sony VAIO P11 review over at Engadget. Enagdget also tells us that the VAIO P11 will start at $799 here in the US. While you should head over to the Engadget review to get the full details (and watch the nice video overview of the device), Joanna sums up the review by saying:

Can you get an $800 laptop with five times the performance of the P Series, or a $399 netbook with better ergonomics and endurance? Of course, but the VAIO P is — and will probably always be, unless it drops severely in price — a niche device meant for those that have the cash to burn on an overpriced, albeit striking little laptop. But regardless of it not being a gadget for the masses, we’d still like to see it gain a touchscreen and more than four hours of battery life. Ultimately we feel the same way we did when we concluded the first VAIO P review: “There’s some cool stuff happening here. $800 worth of cool things? That’s your call.”

I have to say that I’m rather disappointed with Sony and their release of the VAIO P11. They seem to have only added a few novel features to the VAIO P more thoughts on this later.

    Sony doesn’t get it, but Apple does. Sony will flush itself down the toilet if it doesn’t wake up soon.
