Remember the Sony VAIO X? At one point it was the world’s lightest notebook at only 1.6lbs with the standard battery. Considered by some as an ultra-mobile masterpiece, the VAIO X Series notebook redefined the benchmark on portability.
Brawnier than it lets on, the X Series features a durable carbon fiber casing, seamless aluminum keyboard panel and scratch-resistant 11.1″ widescreen display. To complement its unbelievably thin and durable design, the VAIO X didn’t skimp too hard on power with features such as an Intel Atom Processor, 2GB of RAM and a SSD. In addition to a supplied standard and large capacity battery for extra-long battery life, the X incorporates Bluetooth technology, integrated GPS and some models even had Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband built in.
We recently noticed Sony Japan released a new special edition Pink VAIO X (VPCX13ALJ/KJ), available in several interesting configuration options: Pre-loaded with Windows 7 (Home or Premium); an Atom Z530 or Z550 processor; SSD with 64 or 128GB; WAN, GPS, WiMax, and more. Configuration prices at SonyStyle Japan range from Y97,800 for the lowest range model with a Z530 and 2GB of RAM with a 64GB SSD, all the way to a Y156,800 beast with a Z550 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD with all the bells and whistles.
We’ve written a great deal about the VAIO X, writing such posts when it first debuted called, “Hands-on With The Champagne Sony VAIO X Series Notebook,” gave it the full inspection with the “VAIO X505 and VAIO X Comparison Pictorial (Video)” and finally the requisite “VAIO X Unboxing Video.”
