The new models now all run Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional and with this change alone should run much faster than the older models bogged down by Vista's steep requirements. They likewise have been brought into step with Japanese updates and have the option of up to a 2GHz Atom, a 256GB solid-st... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/04/sony.vaio.p.gets.us.upgrade/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/02/subsidized.sony.vaio.p.at.verizon/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/sonyvaiop.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Wireless provider Verizon will soon add the Sony VAIO P netbook to its subsidized lineup, according to a Monday Phone Arena leak. Thus far, Verizon offers the Gateway LT2016U, HP Mini 311 and Mini 110 netbooks, but the VAIO P would be the smallest and lightest of the four. The system should be the standard 8-inch netbook but will have a built-in modem with both EVDO and GSM support.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/02/subsidized.sony.vaio.p.at.verizon/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/28/sony.vaio.lt.js2.all.in.ones.at.risk/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/sonyvaiolt80-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony this afternoon launched a recall of AC power adapters for two of its all-in-one desktops for a potential shock hazard. All VAIO JS2 and LT desktops sold between September 2005 and today that use a particular AC adapter, the AC19V17, are believed at risk of shocking owners following four reports outside of the US of the adapters short circuiting on their own.

The policy was supposedly introduced to help fight piracy, where bootleggers go to see a movie and record it with an electronic device.

It brings a 16:9 aspect ratio 14-inch display (versus 16:10 before) and is the first mid-range Sony notebook to carry Windows 7.

The 11-inch netbook crossover is billed as the lightest ever notebook and uses a carbon fiber shell to reach a weight of just 1.6 pounds. As it's based on a smaller and cooler running Intel Atom chip, the system can also afford to be extremely thin and measures 0.55 inches thick across its whole length.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/sony.launches.vaio.x.netbook/ Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/07/sony.vaio.l.brings.touchscreen.blu.ray/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/sonyvaiol.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony at an event tonight launched a trio of new systems, starting with its first touchscreen PC.

The 8-inch netbook has primarily updated to add Windows 7 and should run faster on similar hardware as a result thanks to better performance on low-end hardware.
