The Sony VAIO P just got an upgrade, with Sony boosting processor speed, squeezing in a bigger solid state drive and – this is the biggie – binning Windows Vista for trusty XP.
One of our biggest gripes with the Sony VAIO P when it launched earlier this year was Sony inexplicably piling bulky, bloated Windows Vista on to the ultra portable computer. Now though, Sony’s finally seen the light, unveiling a new version with improved specs and an older, but better OS in the Sony VAIO P50.
From 6 June, Sony Japan will start selling the new Sony VAIO P model with Windows XP as standard, as well as new hardware options including a 2GHz Atom Z550 processor and a huge and speedy 256GB SSD.
Of course, Sony VAIO P specs vary worldwide so we don’t know for sure yet whether these new options will make it over to the UK, but given that we got a better version of the Sony VAIO P than the US first time around, fingers crossed we’ll be seeing this bump over here soon.
