Seen at CES: Sony’s Stylish Super Light VAIO Notebook.

Sony VAIO's late, great, uber-juicy Picturebooks (the 505, CPG, etc) are now all glitzed up and graduated into the lusciously lightweight P Series Lifestyle notebook.

I drooled over the glossy colors at CES. Since then, I've gotten questions, comments and ahhhhs from my fellow girl-geeks, all of whom are sick of lugging full-size laptops through airport security.

Here’s what Sony’s site has to say:

The world’s lightest1 8″ notebook, the 1.4-pound2 VAIO® P Series Lifestyle PC does more than you could imagine–with impeccable style. Email at the airport, IM from the park, or just show it off when you want some attention. Traveling to a new city? Turn-by-turn GPS navigation will get you there faster. Best of all, it fits right in your purse or jacket pocket.

At around $900, these machines are pricier than comparable notebooks — HP and Dell both have models out — so if you’re simply looking for scaled down size and functionality, the HP/Dells may fit your needs. Plus, my guess is that these VAIOs may suffer from the same defects my other six VAIOs — that is, oddly fragile keys and pieces-parts. Still, these glitches never stopped me. I guess I like a little fashionista along with my functionality.
