Introduction
Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z model will be greatly successful, and this all credit goes to its design. Indeed, this aspect is particularly successful: the dress metallic keypad, colors at once sober and original hull (green, red, black and white), the discretion of skates on which the screen when closed. .. The finishes are good, even if the screen we felt a bit fragile.
Sony has been keen to emphasis that the Vaio P-series isn't a netbook and is instead called a lifestyle notebook by the company. Calling the P-series anything else will likely result in us having our ears clipped by Sony's marketing department – that's what ear defenders are for, though. As long as you don't utter filthy language when the P-series is within earshot, you're never going to need those ear defenders because the P11Z/R uses a completely fanless design. Indeed, the only moving part inside is the 60GB mechanical hard drive and that's substituted for a 128GB SSD in the more expensive models.
Measuring just 245 x 120 x 20mm (W x D x H) and weighing only minimum 636 grams with the standard battery attached, the P-series is certainly the lightest notebook on the market. It's also the smallest and most portable notebook we've seen to date. By comparison, the Samsung NC10 measures 261 x 186 x 30mm (W x D x H) and weighs 1.33kg.
