The netbook PC category has not been around that long, but already Sony is slipping a new model in between the traditional laptop computers and the trimmer netbooks.
The new Sony Vaio P series Lifestyle PC is lighter than most laptops at 1.4 pounds and is MacBook Air-thin at less than an inch. It is not quite 10 inches wide with a bright 8-inch LCD screen. Like a laptop, the P uses a 1.3-HHz Intel processor.
The extra inches give it a more comfortable keyboard than the typical paperback-size netbook. Sony says it will go four hours on a battery charge. It can be configured with either a hard drive or a solid-state storage. With 3G mobile broadband, like a smartphone, and Wi-Fi, like a PC, it is begins to blur the distinctions between devices.
But Sony also creates another kind of category with this device: the premium-priced netbook. Like other Sony Vaios, the design is sleek and it comes in many colors. Sony is asking $900 for the most basic model, twice the price tag of many other netbooks.
