Just don't call it a netbook, right? Right…
The Sony Vaio P - officially the world's sexiest 'business toy'...
I've just sat down with Sony's shiny, immaculately-designed new ultra-netbook (ahem, sorry, 'portable PC'), the Vaio P-series for an hour or three on a rather pleasant train journey, so l'll give you my first impressions of the gadget that rocked CES in Vegas this year.
For the laptop aesthete at least, the design of the 'just larger than a standard office envelope' sized Vaio P-series has already seduced you, even before you have removed the cheeky-looking little business toy from its leather and suede pouch. Cost of said animal-skin laptop cover? £89.99 extra. Ouch!
And yes, let's get that little niggle out of the way first. Being British, we love to gripe about how the cost of, well, everything is going through the roof. And it is too. There is no getting around it. The price point of Sony's porta-PC-du-jour has been set phenomenally high.
To the average Joe in PC World the price tag of £850 will seem nothing less than astronomical. And while that's not the target market, it is certainly going to confuse a number of Vaio fans and loyal fanboys ($899 in the US, like, when did we hit 'parity' with the dollar?). It basically seems like a firm, no-nonsense slap in the face of the credit crunch from Sony. That much is pretty obvious. Isn't it?
Well. No. No it's not. If it were, then why, after a matter of minutes playing with Sony's new business toy, are we considering - ACTUALLY CONSIDERING - how we might justify finding £850 to buy one when they launch in the UK early in February?
