This week at CES, Sony unveiled the world’s lightest notebook. The VAIO Lifestyle PC is a slim 1-inch thick, but sports an 8-inch screen. Sony is boasting that it’s the PC that can easily fit in your jacket pocket.

The VAIO P Series Lifestyle P definitely has portability, while acting as a regular sized notebook. It’s the first PC I’ve ever seen of its size to feature a full sized keyboard like you’d see on a desktop.

The VAIO Lifestyle PC is most impressive when showing off its connection options. It has built-in Bluetooth, GPS, and will connect to Verizon mobile broadband.

Here are a list of specs for the tablet PC:

- Intel (1.33GHz) processor
- 2GB DDR2 SDRAM
- 60GB HDD w/ an option to upgrade to 128GB
- 4 Hour battery life
- Windows Vista Basic w/ an option to upgrade to Home Premium

The pricing for the device starts at $899 for the 60GB model, but you’ll have to pay $1,500 for the 128GB. Sony is taking pre-orders for the PC now, and will be available the beginning of February.
