Sony’s VAIO P ‘mark 2′ hopefully learns from past mistakes – 1707th Edition
While we had high hopes for Sony’s sleek and beautifully crafted VAIO P back in the day, it’s become a major point of frustration and thus, ridicule, ever since we first powered it up. This $900ish ultra-portable is the very symbol of what tends to go wrong at Sony: beautiful hardware is crippled by software leaving consumers wondering why they paid a premium for such an undistinguished user experience. Now Techradar is reporting that Sony has a VAIO P “mark 2″ ready to launch in October or November — we suspect right after Windows 7 launches. The only real detail provided is that the “mark 2″ will feature a “much-improved boot-up time.” Whether that’s the result of inherently fast-booting Windows 7 alone or via some third party Instant-on technology like Corel, well, Sony isn’t saying.
