Sony Will Offer a Cheap NetBook Too: Vaio W

So far, Apple and Sony were the last 2 computer companies that did not follow the trend of NetBooks, aka the cheap notebook models with a rapidly limited hardware and a LCD display around 10". Well, while this market seems to dramatically slow down, Sony announced its NetBook model, aka the Vaio W. This computer will have the usual hardware found in many models: 10" display, Intel ATOM CPU clocked at 1.66 GHz, Wi-Fi 802.11g, 1 GB of RAM, etc. However, it will offer LED backlighting to extend the battery lifetime to 3.5 hours. Its price: less than 500 USD. It will support Windows XP SP3, as Vista or Windows 7 will be too resource-consuming for its hardware (it would also be the case with Snow Leopard)
