Sony VAIO P Review - Tiny, Compact and Powerful

One of the most outstanding things about the Sony VAIO P is its miniature size. It has unequalled convenience in the netbook industry but something that might put people off it is its price as, despite its great qualities, it retails at about double the price of similar-range netbooks.

First off, the VAIO P is unbelievably tiny and sleek. It is so tiny that you will not need a bag to move around with it as you can easily fit it into a tiny purse or jacket pocket. And you will not feel burdened by its 1.13 pounds nor will your pocket bulge as it only measures 9.6"x0.78"x4.72". With a netbook that tiny, you must wonder what Sony must have packed into it to justify a retail price that is so high when compared to other netbooks. Well, there is much power in this tiny giant as we shall soon see.

The VAIO P has an Intel Atom processor 1.33GHz Z520, system memory of 2 GB DDR2 800MHz (1DIMM) and Intel GMA 500 Integrated graphics. It has an eight inch backlit LED screen which has a resolution of 1600*768 therefore guaranteeing you very high quality pictures. Battery life is excellent as the standard netbook comes with a four cell Lithium-ion battery while there is an option of a six cell battery. With the standard capacity battery, you will get a minimum of four hours off a power source.

This is a very elegant netbook that looks more like a smartphone with its glossy plastic exterior, rounded edges and smooth lines. When you open it, you are immediately attracted by the magnesium alloy internal frames and the matte silver which you can hardly tell is plastic. The keyboard is easy to use as the keys have adequate space between them. Rather than a touchpad, this netbook uses a pointing stick which is also very user-friendly.

The operating system of the Sony VAIO P is Genuine Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit and, in addition to Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Software, you also get the Sony Creativity Suite and Norton Internet Security anti-virus software. You can connect this netbook with many other gadgets as it has two USB ports as well as Ethernet and VGA ports among a host of others.

While the features, and especially the size, of this netbook are revolutionary, it is still rather expensive when compared with other netbooks in the market.
