SonyStyle USA recently put up a new maxed out Vaio P that Stan wrote about earlier today – the VGN-P698E. Coincidentally, Sonystyle Japan is finally shipping out a Vaio P only available in that country that is a total juggernaut and much more powerful – at the same price. The difference in features for the same price is pretty unbelievable. Japan Vaio P buyers can get 400mhz more processing power, 128GB more of SSD, exclusive color choices (eight, compared to four elsewhere), and a larger battery. The colors I’ve stated here are just my personal selection. Let’s take a look.
