Sony Showcases 655g Super-thin Vaio-X Notebook

Sony Vaio X

Sony will release its extremely light Vaio-X notebook – which it presents as the world’s lightest laptop – in the UK in November, a few weeks after Windows 7 is launched.

The laptop, which was presented earlier last month at IFA in Germany, weighs less than any netbook and yet packs significantly more firepower thanks to its carbon-fibre frame that makes it light and sturdy.

The two X-series version, the VPC-X11S1E/B and VPC-X11Z1E/X, are based on Intel’s Atom processor. The later has the Z550 and the former the Z540 which should be faster than most of the Intel-based Atom netbooks currently on the market.

Both share the same subsystem – 2GB DDR2 memory and an Intel GMA500 graphics module – but the faster E/X model has a 256GB SSD while the E/B comes with “only” 128GB. The only other difference between the two is the colour with the E/X wrapped in a Champagne Gold finish.
