I had a chance to handle the Vaio W Netbook 1st hand a week ago. This is Sony's entry into the already very crowded netbook market. Nothing much was added to the generic netbook specs -- Intel 1.66ghz Atom Processor, Windows XP Home, 10.1" Screen, 2.6lbs weight, 1gb ram, 160gb hard drive, bluetooth and wifi b-g-n, and the kicker...the price tag, a whopping P39k retail! Ouch! I guess here what you really buy is the brand name. Slap on a Sony Vaio on the lid and you seemingly get a premium machine.
But to be totally candid, the looks and specs do not warrant the high price tag. It's aesthetically good, don't get me wrong. The Keyboard is excellent, chiclet form and no flex whatsoever. The build is pretty solid. It's just way too expensive! It's hard to look this way when you have gorgeous eee's and lenovo's out there at almost hallf the price, packing similar specs.
Here are some more pics:
Nice looking but nothing spectacular.
Good build quality.
Very nice chiclet keyboard.
