Details about a new entry level Sony netbook, the Sony Vaio M have hit the net somewhat unofficially through the Notebook Review Forums.
The new model does resemble another Sony line, namely the Sony Vaio W and there is some suspicion that the Sony M netbook will ultimately replace the Vaio W in the low end netbook market.
For features, the Sony M comes with a 10.1-inch display screen with 1024×600 pixel resolution, a Pineview N450 processor with a 1.66GHz Intel clock speed and 1GB DDR2 RAM. Additional standard features include a 250GB 5400rpm (revolutions per minute) hard drive, an integrated webcam and wireless network connectivity through Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. The units will be available in jet black with pricing to be in the $450-$500 ballpark roughly.
It’s important to be aware that these details have not been made official by Sony as of yet, otherwise we’d probably have some further information about the battery performance, an important consideration when deciding amongst netbooks from the various vendors.
