    From CNET:
    "The P-series Lifestyle PC is one of the smallest laptops we've seen; it is almost similar to a UMPC, but with a traditional clamshell laptop design."

  • SO LIGHT. SO PORTABLE.

    About as thin as a deck of cards, it's a cinch to tote. Whether you're crossing the street or crossing a border, this Lifestyle PC fits seamlessly into your life. At just 1.4 pounds2, you might even forget you're carrying it.

  • SERIOUS STORAGE.

    With an available 256GB solid state drive (SSD) instead of the typical spinning hard disk drive found in most computers, the Lifestyle PC packs ample room for your files—not bad for an 8" notebook. The SSD provides rapid boot-up and quicker access to your applications. And because it features no moving parts, it's less prone to physical damage.

  • ORGANIZATION MADE EASY.

    When you have more than a few documents or web pages open at once, your screen can get a little chaotic. But with the P Series, just press a single button and watch as all open windows are presented side-by-side on a single screen, cutting clutter and giving you a fresh perspective on your workspace.

  • SMART DISPLAY.

    Keep moving and stop waiting. The instant-on, ultra-bright 8-inch3 LED-backlit screen of the Lifestyle PC means you never have to wait for it to warm up. Plus, its extra-wide 1600 x 768 resolution easily displays the width of an entire page, putting an end to side-to-side scrolling that can slow you down.

  • FACE-TO-FACE FUN.

    Getting your point across has never been easier. The Lifestyle PC features a built-in MOTION EYE® webcam and microphone that lets you quickly snap photos and video chat with friends and family5.

  • INSTANT MODE FOR INSTANT ACCESS.

    Featuring a convenient, one-button quick-boot option, the Lifestyle PC offers fast access to the web, email, photos and more. Dive directly into the fun stuff via Instant Mode using a version of Sony's own Xross Media Bar™, the same intuitive system found on the PLAYSTATION®3 and select BRAVIA® HDTVs.
