New Sony Vaio W Netbook

Sony have repeatedly stated that they will not be releasing a netbook, today however they seem to have changed their mind.  Sony Vaio have released the W series, and while they don’t call it a Netbook it is small (Ten inches) lightweight and only an inch thick.

Where the new Sony Vaio W Series differs from normal netbooks is the price, costing around $100 more than your typical netbook.  However this is a new release and we do expect the prices to go down in the future. Sony are not known for their cheap prices though, so the future is uncertain!

Personally I like the newSony Netbook, it is smooth and has true Vaio reliability.  In some ways though I think it may flop, it just isn’t cheap enough for the netbook market.  Who know though, maybe some people want small, lightweight high quality, rather than the small crap netbooks that you get from most other suppliers!
