The added mobile nav grip function allows Sony VAIO P11 just like a book, and the touchpad and left-and right- click buttons on the screen bezel let us feel like controlling a PSP. However, VAIO P11 definitely has many differences in...

Sony VAIO P11 has been improved a lot, not only in rounded and natural appearance, but the whole detail treatment also shows that Sony pay much attention to humanistic and excellent operation experience in VAIO P series products. But the shortcomings...

When Sony told me they had a Vaio P ready to send out to me, I was more excited about it than any other device I’ve tested in a while. Having converted to the netbook faithful with an HP Mini 1000 a few months ago, I was looking forward to trying out...

Sony launches a "PC system" of a special kind with the Vaio VGN-P11Z. The manufacturer demanded that its not a netbook in the press release. "Dont call it a netbook!" it was declared then. It certainly belongs in the league of the mini-notebooks, o...

The Sony P-series is one of the most incredible pieces of technology we’ve ever seen, but it’s also one of the most fundamentally flawed. Take the LCD as an example: packing a 1,600 x 768 native resolution into a screen with an eight-inch diagonal is s...

Sony wants you to believe the VAIO P is a "Lifestyle PC" and not a netbook. Whether or not consumers will see it that way remains to be seen. As we said in our first look review, "the Sony VAIO P is not your average netbook." In fact, the VAIO P probably...

One of the major announcements for CES 2009, the Sony VAIO P has been hailed by some as the ultimate netbook, and by others as a folly of “what Sony can do” rather than “what Sony should do”. SlashGear has been using the VAIO P for near enough the pas...
