Sony Vaio P Ditches Vista, Hugs XP

Sony_VaioP_WindowsXP

Well it seems like 3 years into the launch and everybody is still trying to find a way to ditch Vista. Originally launching with Windows Vista, the Sony Vaio netbook P series will now rock Windows XP (Home) when it relaunches under VGN-P50. Also new will be a standard 2.0GHZ Atom Z550 processor, as apposed to the previous 1.33GHZ. You can now also select up to a 256GB SSD (Sold State Drive). Prices will be kept at the traditional $900. Look for a Japanese June 6th launch. No word on the US but I’m assuming were not far behind.

I must say, I’d love to get one of these units because between being on my full setup at the house and being on the go with the iPhone that has my Twitter and WordPress Apps, it would be nice to have something in between to work on this site with thats small and is super portable. So if your bored one day Sony and have a spare Vaio P sitting around it, Id love to get my hands on one, plus, it would make a great PR gesture! So….Just Contact Us ya?
