Sony VAIO W Series
10.1 inch (Netbook?)
mini notebook

Starting at $499.99, can this really
be considered a Netbook? I think
not.

(The following text if from Sony's
website. My "First View" look will
post soon.)

TRY THIS OUT FOR SIZE.

It's light, it's stylish, it's the VAIO®
W Series mini notebook. A welcome
addition to the VAIO family, this little
go-getter delivers the essential
laptop experience—email, instant
messaging, Facebook®, YouTube®,
Twitter—in a size so small you can
take it anywhere.

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND.
The W makes a perfect second
computer. Keep one around the
house and watch as its portable
power makes things easier than
ever. Look up online11 recipes in
the kitchen. Check sports scores
from the garage. Check email
without running to the home office.
This mini multitasker does it all in
classic Sony VAIO fashion.

A STUDY IN STURDINESS.
Can't get enough of a good thing?
The W possesses the same sturdy
build quality and snappy
performance you've come to
expect from VAIO notebooks—in
a much smaller package.

REMARKABLE RESOLUTION.
Worthy of the Sony name, the W's
screen really shines. Movies and
photos look amazing on the
1366 x 768-resolution, 10.1"
LED-backlit display3. Sporting a
widescreen format that lets you
view full-width web pages without
side-scrolling, the W feels just like
using a full-sized laptop.

CREATE ON THE FLY.
With the W, fun comes standard. Built
into every model is VAIO Multimedia
Suite, a collection of video and photo
editing tools that make it easy to
create your own high-quality home
movies, slideshows and more, no
matter where you are.

WIRELESSLY STREAM YOUR MEDIA.
The included VAIO Media Plus
software lets you wirelessly stream
the music, photos, and videos stored
on your W Series throughout your
home network. With a PlayStation® 3
or other DLNA® compatible device,
can enjoy your media on the big
screen and control it all with
on-screen set up menus.
