Sony is at pains to point out that its new VAIO S-series is not an ultra-portable Netbook – he said at the CES, and now it’s back to say on the Sony Electronics blog. The Post goes with “We had a lot of fun … tell people why the new P-series VAIO lifestyle PC is not a so-called Netbook computers,” but we feel a few teeth.

Sony Blogger Rick differences between the lists of the VAIO S-Series and other netbooks, but they are not all together …

First, Rick called the keyboard – “much closer to a notebook keyboard larger than what you see on most netbooks.” It is true that the P-series has been designed keyboard, but there are many 10in screen netbooks with 90-odd percent of full-size keyboard.

The 1600 x 768 screen is certainly a distinguishing feature for the P-series, but the HP 2133 Mini-Note had a 1280 x 768 display, which is not far off. Also, the nuclear-Z processor that different from the nuclear-N processors other netbooks, even if we admit that the P-Series is the first fanless, he un-Netbook we’ve seen.

We dismiss the P-series “Wireless” for obvious reasons – all netbooks have Wi-Fi, and some have HSDPA. The new Asus Eee PC T91 has GPS, so that Sony has not stolen the march on that one either.

High-capacity SSDs aren’ta USP either – the Asus Eee PC S101 is similar to – and still is an instant-on Linux mode (ditto).

But we also think Rick and Sony protest too much here. Although there is a risk of VAIO S-series are classified as poor if it attracts a “Netbook” day, one thing is cetain – it is a class for itself. Yes, it’s over prices in the United Kingdom, but it is not to deny that it is a stunning ultra-portable and no matter how many netbooks sure you will not find anything remotely comparable enevn.

The Toshiba NB100 laptop is not really that exciting piece of computer equipment provided by an Intel Atom N270 processor and an Intel 945GSE Express chipset is not to shake up anyone’s views on class laptops.

Other features of the Toshiba NB100 is a 8.9 in. WSVGA LED display with 1 GB of RAM, and is now with the possibility of either a 64 GB SSD or a 160 GB hard drive.

And that’s really about it with the Toshiba NB100 laptop, as I said nothing more exciting than the other Toshiba NB100 will be in different colors as the case Galaxy Black and Champagne Gold.

Enter MSI, just the aptly Valentine’s Edition Wind U100 netbook just in time for the special holiday. If you remember, this is not the first time, MSI has outed a tiny laptop oozing with romance, but this has a limited edition label (figuratively, at least), a 6-cell battery, 160 GB hard drive and a 1.6 – GHz Atom N270 processor.
