The Sony P-series Lifestyle PC: Just don’t call it a Netbook

Much like Apple, Sony likes to keep its Vaio products aimed at mid-to-high-end buyers and generally eschews the budget end of the market (although there are actually a handful of sub-$600 Vaios we’ve reviewed fairly favorably).
When it comes to Netbooks, it’s no different; Sony’s entry into the very hot minilaptop category shares a lot with Netbooks such as the Dell Mini 9 or Asus Eee PC, but clearly goes out of its way to avoid being lumped in with them.
The P-series Lifestyle PC is one of the smallest laptops we’ve seen; it is almost similar to a UMPC, but with a traditional clamshell laptop design. The widescreen 8-inch 1600×768 display and tiny keyboard make for a form factor that has roughly the same footprint as a standard white business envelope, and is less than 1-inch thick, weighing 1.4 pounds.
