(PR.co.nz) Sony New Zealand has announced a new, advanced Pocket Style PC for a smarter mobile computing experience, the new VAIO P Series. (VPC-P115KG).
Weighs just over 600g
It’s smaller than a notebook and smarter than a smartphone: the colourful New VAIO P Series from Sony is your perfect partner for on-the-go computing.
Weighing just over 600g, its compact size slips effortlessly into a jacket pocket or bag and gives you all the power of a fully-featured Windows(R) computing experience.
New mobile style
Ideal for busy people, the Mobile Grip Style offers computing on-the-go, even if you’re standing or walking. The nub pointer located in the middle of the keyboard is complemented by an additional touchpad and mouse buttons. Duplicating the main controls, they’re located at both sides of the screen for comfortable operation with both thumbs while you’re holding the computer in two hands.
The New VAIO P Series is also equipped with a built-in accelerometer that responds to physical movements, allowing the users to control it by gesture. Shake to ‘flick’ through pictures or the pages of a PDF document, or navigate back and forth through your web browsing history.
The sensor also recognises when VAIO P Series is turned on its side, automatically ‘flipping’ the screen for easy reading of documents or web pages in vertical mode. The notebook’s additional mouse buttons are perfectly placed for comfortable page- turning when you’re reading in vertical position – just like a paperback book or magazine
Easy and convenient
The new VAIO P Series is beautifully designed for easy operation, with a comfortable size keyboard for easy typing, plus a bright and extra-wide 8 inch VAIO Display that’s ideally proportioned for viewing movies or two web pages side-by-side. There’s also an ambient light sensor that dims screen illumination for comfortable viewing while saving power.
For extra convenience, dedicated buttons are provided: “WEB Button” for Quick Web Access, allowing users to start surfing the web without booting up Windows® OS, and “ASSIST Button” giving one-touch access to VAIO Care which simplifies basic maintenance and troubleshooting tasks to keep your VAIO in good condition. Lastly the “Resolution Change Button” allows users to switch the resolution of the LCD from 1600 x 800 to 1280 x 600 with one-touch for comfortable page viewing.
Available in four vibrant colours (black, white, pink, and orange), the new VAIO P Series, advanced Pocket Style PC will retail for $1899.95 and be available in Sony Style Stores from the 21st of May 2010.
