IFA: Sony unveils VAIO X, a carbon fiber laptop

Posted on September 3rd, 2009 by Editorial Staff in Laptops / Computers, Latest News

At the IFA 2009, Sony has unveiled their latest addition to the VAIO family. The VAIOX is a half-inch thin ultraportable laptop with an 11.1-inch screen, despite the lack of official full specs at the moment Sony has said that the VAIO X is set to further push the battery life limit amongst laptops.

With this in mind, the VAIO X is likely to pack an Atom processor but the price of this new lappie along with its well equipped luxurious body kit, it won’t surprise us too much should the pricetag be abit on the heavy side.

According to Sony, the choice of an Atom processor is far from decided and is only on display to run the engineering prototypes here at IFA, so there’s still hope for at least CULV internals when this thing ships. Unfortunately, access to the rest of the internal specs were software blocked and Sony was zipped tight on details.

Further visual inspection reveals a pair of USB jacks, SD/Memory Stick slot, WWAN SIM slot, and folding feet on the bottom to prop up the lappie so you can attach an Ethernet cable in the mechanically yawning RJ45 jack or a Kensington lock. Unfortunately, the only video output option is VGA.

Sony’s offerings inevitably are good looking, but expensive and underperformers. The carbon fibre look doesn’t really reflect well in the posted images, but I would love to see one in the “flesh” as it muist be totally awesome. I hope they buck the trend with this offering.
