Not so much of a surprise now, but Sony's bringing its 10.1-inch Vaio W stateside as well, and yes, according to the Sony reps we talked to, this time they really do mean to call it a netbook, unlike its Vaio P brethren . Likewise, with that nomenclature comes none too surprising specs, ...

Sony unveils Vaio W netbook
TechSpot —
Sony has introduced a new netbook, the Vaio W , and unlike their Vaio P , they actually intend on calling it such. While the Ws looks are somewhat mediocre, its whats on the inside that counts. It features a 10.1 (1366 x 768) LED-backlit display, a 1.66GHz Intel N80 Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n, Ethernet, a webcam, VGA-out, two USB ports, and MemoryStick/SD card readers.

Maximum PC —
... With their latest introduction to the Vaio line Sony is looking to bring their newest netbook, the Vaio W, to the states.
The 10.1-inch netbook will feature some pretty common specs: a 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM, Windows XP, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n, VGA out, two USB ports, Ethernet, a webcam, and MemoryStick/SD card readers. It’ll also come with a three-cell battery stock, and feature an 86 percent size keyboard.
It’s reported to cost about $500, and is set to release about mid-August. And best of all, it’ll come in three flavors: berry pink, sugar ...
CE-Oh no he didn't! Part LXI: Acer chief says Japanese PC companies "the weakest today"
Engadget —
We're pretty sure we've heard Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci say PC industry consolidation resulting in fewer players and lower component prices would be a good thing before, but he dressed it with a side of smackdown today: speaking to the New York Times, he said that Toshiba and Sony's PC businesses would the first targets, since "the Japanese for sure are the weakest today." Ouch. It's especially harsh since Sony just broke down and released its first netbook this morning after claiming that the low-cost machines were a downward spiral, but that ...
Sony's VAIO W netbook reviewed: personable and pricey, and that's pretty much it
Engadget —
... After Sony's unorthodox VAIO P, did you really expect the outfit's first "real netbook" to burn the house down? With Microsoft's inane hardware restrictions still firmly in place on Windows XP-based netbooks, there's only so much differentiating Sony can do, and evidently those subtle tweaks didn't exactly justify the higher-than-average $499 price tag. Computer Shopper managed to give the unit a spin a few weeks prior to its US release, and while it definitely appreciated the 1,366 x 768 resolution display, the cramped keyboard, painfully lackluster ...
