Sony Vaio P refresh gets touchpad, accelerometer & PS3 Remote Play

May 10, 2010 at 8:06 am


Sony Vaio PSony has officially announced its new Vaio P (P11S1E) ultraportable. The new model comes with several differentiating features that include a touchpad and mouse buttons (in addition to the central trackpoint). The small touchpad sits to the right of the display, whilst the buttons are on the left side that is said to make it easy to use when holding it with two hands.

In terms of specs, the Vaio P will still be powered by a Silverthorne processor. Specifically the 1.86GHz Intel Z540 Atom is mentioned for Europe along with 2GB RAM, 54GB SSD and Windows 7 Premium. You’ll also get Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi (b/g/n) and two USB ports.

Other features include a built-in GPS, digital compass and accelerometer. The latter means that you’ll be able to ‘flick’ through pictures or pages of a document simply by giving the Vaio P a “gentle shake”. The screen will also auto-rotate when looking to read documents in portrait mode.

The Vaio P will also be the first portable to bring PS3 Remote Play to it. As long as you own a PS3 and are running v3.30 firmware you can access PS3 content and recorded programs onto your Vaio P.

Battery life is expected to last for 5 hours, although if you use the extended battery (BPL23) than that will double runtime. The new Sony Vaio P will be available in five vibrant colours (black, white, pink, green and orange) and is expected to launch in June. No European/US prices have been announced today.

Update: UK pricing has been announced. The base configuration will set you back an eye-popping £799. The top model will cost £1,049.
