- Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold)
- Sony has thus far taken a position just adjacent to Apple's when it comes to the question of Netbooks. Rather than embracing these low-cost, low-power systems that have become incredibly popular with bargain-hunting consumers, Sony stayed out of the market initially.

- Sony, Nokia plan premium netbooks
- One way to wean customers off of cheap netbooks is to offer a better alternative. Many computer makers are now offering ULV-based laptops. Another is to raise the price of netbooks. Both Sony and Nokia are planning to give this strategy a go. I've written about this before, and it...
