Sony: Why the VAIO P is not a netbook

The Connect with Sony Community blog has listed down why the VAIO P is not a netbook -

The keyboard: Sony claims the keyboard is much closer to a notebook size keyboard than what you see on most netbooks.

The backlit screen: It features a 1600 x 768 resolution - no need for side-to-side scrolling.

The core: It has an Atom Z processor unlike the N series found in most netbooks.

The wireless capabilities: It has WiFi, Bluetooth, and mobile broadband (via Verizon Wireless).

GPS: It has it; netbooks don't.

Dual OS: It has Windows Vista and an instant-mode option that launches directly into Sony’s Xross Media Bar interface.

The options: It comes in three configurations, including a traditional hard drive model and two SSD versions with 64GB and 128GB, respectively.


So there, the VAIO P is not a netbook.
