\"Sony<\/a> Although the page is no longer active, a couple of people managed a find a placeholder on Sony’s website mentioning their new VAIO P Series<\/a>. jkOnTheRun<\/a> has a screenshot, as do other sites. We’ll have to wait<\/a> another week or so to learn more details.<\/p>\n

Where this falls into the grand scheme of things is hard to say. If you look at the specifications below, you’ll see what I mean:<\/p>\n

Specifications:<\/strong>
\n– 1.33GHz Intel CPU (probably Atom)
\n– 8″ 1600×768 display
\n– Up to 60GB HDD or 128GB SSD
\n– Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)<\/p>\n

The first thing you notice is that display – it’s 8″, but it’s also 1600×768. No other device with a display smaller than 12.1″ has that kind of resolution (and I’m wondering if any 12.1″ devices do have it), at least not that I’m aware of.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this month, we saw the PCG-1P1L and 1P2L at the FCC<\/a>, with an estimate of around 9.5″ x 4.5″ by however thick it is. That seemed incredibly odd at the time, but in light of a 1600×768 display, it starts to make a lot more sense.<\/p>\n

That resolution, in addition to being very interesting, but possibly a strain on the eyes for some, leads one to believe that it will be losing a dedicated row of keys, similar to the 8.9″ Dell Inspiron Mini 9<\/a>. The Inspiron Mini’s battery takes up the space, but in this instance, it’s simply a matter of how small do you want the keys if you want to squeeze in six rows versus five rows. At that size, it makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n

The hard drive capacities listed (max 60GB HDD, up to 128GB SSD) probably are due to 1.8″ form factors, versus 2.5″. Something that is 4.5″ deep doesn’t have much room.<\/p>\n

We’ll just have to wait and see (especially on pricing), but for now, this is leaning more towards a fancy Mobile Internet Device (MID) with a keyboard than anything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
