PC manufacturers still haven’t arrived at a consensus as to what is a netbook. Sony’s perception of a netbook manifested itself in the form of the Vaio P earlier in the year. With the launch of the Vaio P, the Japanese giant prolonged its time-honored tradition of setting outrageous prices for its products. However, Sony has tried to justify Vaio P’s exorbitant price, which starts at $900, by deliberately referring to it as an ultra-portable as opposed to a netbook.
Now, Sony is said to have informed technology website TechRadar about the future of the P series. Yes, the Vaio P does have a future. The second device in the P series will be launched later this year. Sony has promised a much improved boot-up time this time around. There is no word on its innards as yet.

At work, we never, ever sell $onys when they are regularily priced. Only when they're clearance or on for 300 bucks off do they sell. Case in point, only the technologicaly blind people buy expensive $onys.

900$ is outrageous!! And it doesn't matter what the specs are! Unless it's sportin 6 hours of up time, quad core, 4GB ram and an ATI mobile GPU, and a plethora of extra's. But I seriously doubt it. People will buy it just because it's a sony.....For all it's worth and by many's way of thinking, my Acer Aspire One should be considered an ultra-portable and that tiny ^$$#$@@ should be considered a netbook.
