Sony Vaio M and its Atom N450 heart get unboxed

Sony’s successor to the Vaio W netbook made its debut a little prematurely earlier this month, which has now been followed by its first unboxing and preview. Encased in an appealing matte black plastic, the Vaio M is set for an April launch in the UK at the very reasonable £300 ($456) price point. Unfortunately, the drop in price also means a lower-res 1024 x 600 display, while the W’s chiclet keyboard has also been replaced with a more conventional typing surface. With 1GB of DDR2 RAM and a 250GB storage drive, Sony seems to be giving us the bare minimum here, but that’s alright with us — let’s just make sure this thing actually has a battery that lasts, shall we Sony? The original article doesn’t seem to be up anymore, but give the Google Cached source a click for some more pictures.
