Sony VAIO W series netbooks officially announced

It's still hard to believe that it really took this long for Sony to launch their first true netbook. But after the long wait, it's finally here. Dubbed as VAIO W, the new series of netbooks features some decent spec but the design is not as impressive as someone would expect from a Sony product. The new device checks in with 10.1" screen, 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1 GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Wifi: Atheros 802.11 b/g/n and all the usual stuff we might expect from a netbook. The netbook ships with Windows XP and three colour options to choose from: pink, brown and white. The only feature which makes the new W series netbooks stand apart from the crowd is the 1368x768 resolution. However with a price tag of $499 and a chubby design, consumers have a plenty of other options to choose from. When compared with the impressive lineup of netbooks from Asus and Acer, Sony is really late to the party and their latest W series fails to impress.
