I stopped by the J&R store in New York today to see if there was anything new and unusual in the notebook and netbook section of the store.

The Sony Vaio X is a thin, light and expensive notebook. That last descriptor is the reason I haven’t covered the laptop very much at Liliputing.

Sony Japan has launched a product page for the upcoming Sony Vaio X series laptop. The Vaio X is a thin and light notebook that measures 0.55 thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds thanks to a crazy light carbon fiber chassis. In other words, don’t expect the Vaio X to carry a netbook-like sub-$500 price tag. But last we heard,…

I’m not entirely sure how an ad comparing a notebook to a sword is supposed to sell laptops, but I guess Sony wants you to know that the upcoming Sony Vaio X is thin. Really thin. Like 0.55 inches thin. We also already knew that it would weigh about 1.5 pounds, thanks to a light weight carbon fiber chassis, but…

Sony has been pumping out ultraportable computers for ages, so the company’s got a little bit of expertise in the area. And this year Sony dipped its toe in the Intel-Atom powered netbook space, first with the overpriced and kind of bafflingly-sized Sony Vaio P, and then with the more typical, but still a bit overpriced Sony Vaio Mini W….
