Now this is a Vaio I can get behind. Considerably more usable than the P series this tiny little laptop is clad in carbon fiber and looks amazingly cute and functional. The units they were showing were running Windows 7 and Atom chips.

The guy at the booth pointed out that there was an earlier model, almost as small as this one, made in 2003 (shown in the last two images). It wasn’t powerful, but it predated the MacBook Air by years.

In all, however, this is a great move. It’s ultralight and ultrafun.
