Sony Vaio M netbook gets official

Sony has officially announced the Vaio M netbook that we’ve heard so much of recently. The Vaio M is Sony’s value offering compared to its Vaio W netbook, eschewing the HD display and chiclet keyboard of its higher-priced brother.

The Sony Vaio M (M11M1E) comes with a 1.66GHz N450 Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Windows 7 Starter, 6-cell battery and a 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) display. It will be available in either black or white and should be available from the end of the month. Click through for the specs and some promo shots. Read more

Sony Vaio M netbook unearthed

Sony is set to launch a budget netbook series under the Vaio M name. The specs are nothing to get excited about, it has a 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) display and is powered by a 1.66GHz N450 Atom processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM and a 250GB HDD. Other features include Wi-Fi (b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1 and a webcam.

The Sony Vaio M will be priced around the £320 mark when it launches later this month. It is cheaper than the Sony Vaio W as it doesn’t have a chiclet keyboard and high-resolution display.
