Verizon's New Netbook: The Vaio P?

Nov 2 2009, 12:14pm CST | by Robert Evans

Verizon already carries three netbooks and, if this rumor from PhoneArena (via Electronista) is correct, a fourth is on the way. The Sony Vaio P netbook is said to be making its way to Big Red for a very low price; $300. The Vaio P retails for $850, which means quite a subsidy from Verizon, and quite a deal for their customers.

The VZW-edition of the P will pack Windows 7 and a non-standard 160 GB hard drive. Normally, this Vaio only comes with 60 and 80 GB hard drive options, which could be a sign of an error in the rumor. Aside from the questionable hard drive, the Verizon's P will have an 8” screen, 2 GB of RAM, and EVDO as well as GSM capability. Phone Arena expects to hear confirmation from Verizon on November 5th. We'll keep our ears open and update you then.
