Sony has launched in India its first ultra-portable the Sony VAIO-VGN-P15G/R NetBook which is powered by Intel Atom Z520 Processor and it features a much smaller 8-inch Widescreen WXGA TFT display, 64-GB internal Solid State Drive, Integrated Webcam, WiFi 802.11a/g/n LAN connection, and 6 hours of extended battery life.


Only 20 mm thick, the new Sony VAIO VGN-P15G/R ultra-portable Laptop is designed as low-cost, Internet-centric mobile computing devices also called NetBooks and is powered by 1.33 GHz Intel Atom ULV (ultra low voltage) Processor Z520, specifically designed for small devices and low power consumption, while maintaining the Intel Core 2 Duo instruction set compatibility.

Sony VAIO VGN-P ultra-portable netbook is one of the slickest and most expensive netBook in its class.


This new range of Ultra Portable Netbook is targeted at consumer who needs to stay connected, informed, entertained and productive-anytime and anywhere. The Sony VAIO VGN-P15G/R is designed lightweight and small in size making it convenient for use at all sorts of places like in home, gym, trains, bus, planes etc. where a larger size laptop might feel inconvenient.


The Intel Atom processor Z520 uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and the processor uses just 2.5 watts of power which is less than 1/10th of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.


The Sony VAIO VGN-P15G/R netbook is also equipped with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology which reduces average system power consumption. The enhanced low-power sleep states (C1E, C2E, C4E) are optimized for power by forcibly reducing the performance state of the processor when it enters a package low-power state.


Designed specifically for mobile devices, the Sony VAIO VGN-P15G/R NetBook uses a brand new design structure the dynamic L2 cache sizing -that reduces electrical leakage in transistors-to conserve energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet.


The 1.33 GHz Intel Atom processor Z520 in Sony VAIO VGN-P15G/R also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer (FSB) on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data) build on Intel US15W Chipset motherboard.


Sony VAIO VGN-P15G/R ultra-portable features 2-GB DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM (maximum 2-GB via a standard SO-DIMM module) and a 64-GB Solid State Drive (SSD) instead of standard hard drive. There is provision to connect CD/DVD optical drive of choice but no optical drive is packaged.


Solid State Drives (SSD) weigh less, use significantly less power and are less prone to damage as compared to conventional hard disk drives (HDD).


In addition, Solid State Hard Drives (SSD) significantly enhance performance in comparison to conventional hard disk drive. SSD’s boot times are 25-50 percent faster and data access is 300 times faster for reading and 150 % faster for writing.


The new Sony VAIO VGN-P15G/R is equipped with 8-inch (20.32 cm) ClearBright Widescreen WXGA TFT display on 2:1 Aspect Radio offering maximum of 1600 x 768 pixels screen resolution powered by integrated Intel Mobile Graphics Media Accelerator GMA 500 graphics chipset with upto 256-MB dedicated video memory.
