The “P” in Sony’s Vaio P could stand for “portable” or “pretty,” but we think it stands for “pricey.” It’s a nifty little notebook that you can slip into a jacket pocket…but are you willing to pay a premium for the privilege? Yeah, the P could stand for that, too. HardwareCentral has the full review.




Welcome back to the HardwareCentral pledge drive. We know you appreciate the site and enjoy reading the reviews and columns, and if we can get just 15 readers to say thank you with a one-time gift of $100, we’ll be able to … drat. No, huh? Well, it was worth a try.

Only Sony could make it tempting to spend $1,500 on a PC with little more power than a $400 netbook. The Vaio P “lifestyle PC” starts at $900 with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor and 128GB solid-state drive in lieu of a hard disk; the deluxe version tested here (model VPCP118KX) is one and a half grand with a slightly faster 2.0GHz Atom Z550 CPU, roomier 256GB SSD, and Verizon mobile broadband with GPS built in.
