Sony Vaio X Ultraportable Specs and Prices Leak [Vaio X Series Official Announcement Expected Tomorrow, Brings 2.0GHz Atom Z550 CPU?]

Last month at the IFA in Berlin, Sony has managed to get everyone stunned with their stylish half-inch thick Vaio X ultraportable. Although the company is expected to go forward with the official announcement tomorrow, our good ninja friends from BoyGeniusReport have managed to get their hands on leaked specs and pricing information for the super slim piece of technology.

If true, the new Sony Vaio X is going to rake the title for the “world’s lightest notebook” at only 1.6 pounds, thanks to its carbon-fiber chassis. The Vaio X comes with an 11.1-inch LED backlit 16:9 aspect ratio display, a multi-touch trackpad that allows you to rotate items, zoom in and zoom out, a solid state drive (SDD), a standard battery good for 3.5 hours and also a “super-extended” battery that should last for an unbelievable 14 hours.

A pretty powerful configuration, the Vaio X series is going to run on a 2.0GHz Atom Z550 processor (still a rumor) and should be delivered with Windows 7 Home Premium. Price wise, the stylish ultraportable should cost just shy of $1,499, with Canada getting it next month and the US at the same time or maybe (we sure hope so) before.
