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.
Here’s an exclusive video from WebProNews showing off the slim PC:

Ultraportable computers have really never found a huge niche in the computing world. They are definitely more portable then regular notebooks, but the price detracts more consumers. HP looks to be changing this trend when it unveils the HP Pavilion dv2 at CES.
The new HP Pavilion ultraportable is like many computers of its type. The main difference is that it’s priced affordable at $699. The ultraportable will hit retail shelves March of this year.

2008 might be a year that will remembered for economic hardships, but so much more happened. We saw some pretty cool technological advances. We saw some pretty crazy news as well. Today is as good a day as any to remember some of the great posts from this past year.
Is Blu-Ray Going To Lose The Format War? - There’s nothing funnier than watching two grown men argue about the life cycle of an electronic piece of media. You generally see it mostly with video gamers, arguing about who’s console is better. Here we have two journalists arguing over the existence of Blu-Ray and if the end is nigh for the format.
EA Should Be Sued For Spore (PC)/SecuROM - My favorite thing to do when blogging is to rant. I could probably make up a rant everyday, but I know that other don’t necessarily like to read personal rants all the time. My post earlier this year about EA including SecuROM on Spore is probably my favorite rant of the year. I made good points, presented evidence, and went off on a big tangent.
Gadget Of The Day: Deodorization Fabria - Freshening up your home is rarely any fun. It generally requires a plug-in, or just spraying a liquid fragrance over your furniture. If they made it like this Japanese snow gun, then my interest would pique.
Tom Hanks Tells You To Drive An Electric Car - Sometimes words aren’t needed. For this video, all I’ll say is ‘Tom Hanks’, and ‘electric cars’.
