Vaio P with updated 1.6GHz Atom and 128GB SSD is still weak-sauce

Posted in: SSD, Today's Chili, vaio

Sony’s finally throwing US consumers a bone by offering its VAIO P with a faster “1.6GHz Atom” processor we presume to be the Z530. Model VGN-P698E also adds a 128GB SSD to the mix along with a Verizon WWAN module and GPS radio. Problem is, the US Version doesn’t have an XP option like the VAIO P in Japan let alone the 1.86GHz Atom Z540 option. That means you’ll be stuck watching Vista Home Premium overwhelm that Atom processor and integrated GMA500 graphics when Windows 7 and those new Tegra-based smartbooks (running CE or Android) arrive in October. Come on, don’t you want a glorified $1,500 netbook?
