    Sony VAIO W available for pre-order


    The Sony VAIO W is now available for preorder on Amazon. You can find it in pink or in brown for $499.99. Oddly, white is "out of stock" although I think that may just be a mistake.

    The major disappointment here is the 2.5 hours battery life being advertised. I hope real would tests get at least that much if not more.

      This is a joke…right? 2.5 hour battery, 2 USB ports, and a 10″ for $500?! No way, Jose. Anyone who spends more than 15 minutes researching Netbooks will not buy this Sony model.

      I know, I’m a little disappointed by the low battery life as well.

      Sony first makes a netbook and doesn’t want people to call it a netbook so they can sell it for more.

      Then they finally give in and release a netbook but haven’t realized that it’s been well over a year since netbooks have had a battery life as low as that!
