Come August 2009, Sony will be introducing its 10.1 inch Sony Vaio W in the US market. With an introductory price of only $499, it should be a good deal for those looking for very portable laptops. In Sony’s hometown however, it will be available for roughly $630. Makes me wonder how much it will cost when it finally hits the Philippines market.

I am especially looking at the berry pink Vaio W as it looks very girly and should make my significant other very happy when I hand her a spanking brand new unit this September. I just hope the Sony Vaio W will be available here by then.
Specs for the Sony Vaio W Netbook include:
- 1.6GHz Atom processor
- 160GB HDD
- 1GB RAM
- Windows XP
- Bluetooth
- 802.11b/g/n
- VGA out
- 2 USB ports
- Ethernet
- Webcam
- MemoryStick / SD card readers
The Sony Vaio W is already available for pre-orders starting today online at www.sonystyle.com/pr/w, and will be sold at Sony Style® stores and other major retailers around the US starting August.

If it hits that high price then it wont be a Netbook any more! We might as well call it a low end laptop :P
