Sony VAIO X Ultraportable Announced

Tweet

Today, at the IFA 2009 press event in Berlin, Sony have just unveiled the new VAIO X Ultraportable. Only 1-inch thick, the superslim Vaio X ultraportable comes with a 11.1-inch display and weighs in at a pound and a half. Speaking of light, the new machine is also durable as its body is being constructed from carbon fiber.

Although Sony failed to officially release a full specs lists, we assume that the Vaio X ultraportable will run on Intel’s Atom processors (come on Sony, you could do better) and will sport a new “all day battery” that, like its name says, is claimed to “set the new standard for stamina.”

No release date has been announced (yet) for the Sony VAIO X ultraportable . Whether it will turn out to be much of a competition for other players in the arena such as the MacBook Air and the Santech LV1, remains to be seen. Meanwhile we’re waiting on hard specs and pricing details, because the device seems very promising.

We’ll update you as soon as we have more.
