Over at akihabaranews, the new Sony Vaio P netbook has been reviewed and overall, the review of the netbook isn’t all that positive.  Build quality and design, both strong points for most products produced by Sony, were praised but, the specifications on the new Sony netbook failed to impress the reviewer and seem to leave the Vaio P struggling to perform as hoped and on par with other netbooks.  In fact, using Windows 7’s own performance rating feature, the Vaio P only managed to score a lowly 1.9 as shown below:

The review is a little disappointing and leaves a thought in my mind that Sony may well be concentrating too much on how the Vaio P looks rather than on building a compentent netbook. Perhaps they are buying into the hype too much and believe they can sell these netbooks to the masses regardless of specs and they might just be right.
