The Sony VAIO P heralds the arrival of a new class of netbook, the so-called “lifestyle PC”—a device that does much more than access email and play video. The Sony VAIO P brings the feature set of a full size laptop all packed into a lightweight ultraportable frame that fits comfortably in a small handbag. And if you’re looking for an excuse to get your very own Sony VAIO P, we can’t think of a better one than the fact that it’s green.

Value:   Excellent

$900 isn’t chump change, even in overvalued British pounds. But, despite its huge price tag, the Sony VAIO P boasts a feature set that is unrivalled by other netbooks. In terms of hardware, there’s an impressive roster of tech crammed under the hood of the miniscule 8-inch Sony VAIO P. When you consider that it weighs only 1.4 pounds, has a 60GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM, a 1.33GHz processor and has wi-fi, the hefty price tag doesn’t look so intimidating.

Cultural Appeal:   Excellent

Sony offers the option of an “emerald green” paint job that can justify your commemorative purchase this Saint Paddy’s Day. Ireland is the Emerald Isle after all. And while we’re on Ireland. Is there another people that has endured as much hardship as the Irish and still managed to extend their influence across the entirety of the globe? No there isn’t. And the Sony VAIO P is an ideal companion in the often bustling Irish export—the pub. It’s small enough to discreetly surf the net in the traditional atmosphere of the pub. Need we say more?

Party Potential:   Excellent

The Sony VAIO P shouldn’t be mistaken for a simple productivity device. In the right hands, the Sony VAIO P can do double duty as a mobile DJ workshop, source of up-to-the-minute party information, impromptu photo editor, or any other computer based party enhancement you can imagine. Just be sure not to misplace the tiny Sony VAIO P during any festivities.

Summary:  

From finding recipes for corned beef and hash on the fly to mixing the perfect Guiness float, the Sony VAIO P makes a perfect holiday companion. Pay tribute to the hearty Irish people, their lovely Emerald Isle, patron saint, and celebrate in style, with the Sony VAIO P this St. Paddy’s Day.
