VAIO M Series offers everything you need for day-to-day computing. With a 6-cell battery that fits nicely within the chassis and weighing just 1.4kg, it’s an ideal travel partner – or a handy second PC to share around the house. The widescreen 25.5cm (10.1”) LED backlit show offers a crisp, clear view of web pages, photos and documents. There’s also a Motion Eye® camera embedded in the screen bezel for video chatting.

There’s plenty of space in the 250GB hard drive to store your documents, digital photos and video clips. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on board plus three USB ports, there’s no shortage of connectivity options, whatever you’re doing. VAIO M Series comes supplied with Genuine Windows® 7 Starter Edition. A generous suite of installed software makes it simple to manage your digital media collection, copy files from another PC, keep your VAIO running smoothly and get technical help when you need it.

The new VAIO M Series mini notebook computer is available from the end of March 2010.

Design and usability
The P-series’ key feature is its unique 8-inch screen, which is much wider than it is tall, boasting an unusual resolution of 1,600×768 pixels. The high resolution is a bonus because most Web pages can be read without too much scrolling around. But the odd aspect ratio is also something of drawback, as, when you make videos full-screen, they tend to look rather weird. The keyboard is small, but very simple to use, although the same can’t be said for the nipple-like pointing device, which takes some getting used to.

Connectivity
The P-series is quite thin and this has compromised its connectivity. Whereas most netbooks have three or more USB ports, this one only has two, with each mounted on either side of the chassis. It also lacks built-in VGA and Ethernet ports. Instead, these are supplied via a rather annoying USB dongle that you have to carry around with you. The P-series does, but, have on-board 3G so, with the addition of a SIM card, you can surf the Web from pretty much anywhere. There’s also GPS support, so you can feasibly use it as a sat-nav device.

Performance and battery life
The P-series uses an Atom Z520 CPU. Whereas most netbook manufacturers pair an Atom processor with just 1GB of RAM, Sony has opted for 2GB instead. Unfortunately, the advantage of having this extra RAM is negated by the fact that Sony has opted to use Windows Vista Home Premium rather than plain ancient Windows XP. As a result, the P-series often feels quite sluggish in use. Battery life isn’t all that terrible, though — you can expect to get over 3 hours of use from the P-series.

Should I buy it?
The P-series is a pretty unique machine, and its distinctive styling has won it many fans. It’s very expensive for a netbook, though, and it’s not quite as comfortable to use as some of the other models.
