SONY VAIO P-series AD

Can you really fit so many VAIO P’s in your pockets? Leave that question. Can you afford so many P-series VAIOs? If you would like to see the special features, you might want to see the making of the Sony Vaio P series at sonyinsider.

The little Sony Vaio P, while made its debut with the slow Windows Vista, runs the latest Windows 8 just fine. Just make sure to get the custom GMA 500 graphic drivers as Intel is yet to make official drivers for the GMA 500 chipsets.

No more 8.9-inch ASUS Eee PCs in 2009

Asus is going to completely phase out 8.9-inch Eee PC netbooks this year. Asus believes that the 10-inch netbooks have much higher demand than the 8.9-inch netbooks.

No doubt, the sales of the 10-inch netbooks have been much higher than expected, but it is odd to completely rule out the 8.9-inch netbooks out of the equation. I am sure that there are a lot of people around who yearn for a smaller device and they do not have a need for a full laptop-size keyboard. They just want a device that is easy to carry around.
