Sony X Series: a first ultra-portable Pine Trail

Sony presents at the IFA a mysterious ultra-portable computer belonging to the family "Vaio X Series. While most manufacturers expose this year that the products they market already or are about to launch for fear of their impatient prospects, Sony could this time be more terse since we know virtually nothing of this technology showcase.

On the sidelines of the only external aspects on which the manufacturer deigns to communicate, just guess-t-on screen WXGA (1366x768 pixels) with backlight LED with a diagonal of 11 inches. Built around a (thin) shell of carbon fiber, the Sony Vaio X extreme sports a fine 1.4 cm and weighing 700 grams with a box that twists easily but still seems strong.



The manufacturer has however remained silent on the components it houses, although one interesting detail allow to establish a viable prognostic. The prototype does not actually enjoy the Aero feature of Windows 7, but enabled by default, which requires a driver and good and due form. Unless Sony has deliberately disabled this feature to cover their tracks, and although he did not have any Intel machine CULVER Catalog, it could well be that the computer contains a processor and a solution Pineview Pine Trail, the future platform of Intel low-power successor to the current Atom.


As the availability and price of this machine, Sony talks about "next year" and have little long-winded about the price. There are rumors, however it would be sold between 1 000 and 2 000.
