There’s something new from Sony! The company announced its latest competitor to the ultraportable laptop market. Take a close look at the new 11.1-inch VAIO X series laptop! As an ultra-thin laptop, the X series can’t help but be comparable to Apple’s MacBook Air, which is 0.76-inch thick at its thickest area, while the X series is 0.55-inch thick. This laptop only weighs about 1.5 pounds! lighter than most ultraportable laptops today. Sony is able to make the VAIO X series that thin by using carbon-fiber in making the casing and aluminum for the keyboard.

In terms of performance, the Sony VAIO X series is powered by an Intel Atom CPU with Windows 7. Sony also claims that its 31Wh battery can power it for one whole day! Sounds amazing! Other features of the X series are 2 USB ports, an Ethernet port, SD or Memory Stick slot, and a VGA output. Interested buyers can take their pick from matte or glossy finish.

When the Sony VAIO X series comes out in October, will you get it?
