Sony has a new laptop series ready to be launched, the Vaio X. The Vaio should be made official sometime tomorrow so in the mean time we can take a sneak peak at the “world’s lightest netbook.” The Vaio X comes with a carbon-fiber chassis and weighs a total of just 1.6 pounds. It’s also just half an inch thin, but that pretty clear from the picture here. Other features include a 11.1-inch LED backlit display that will offer you a 16:9 aspect ratio, a multitouch touchpad, an SSD drive, Windows 7 and a choice of battery between the standard battery that’s going to get you a 3.5 hours of battery life while the super extended battery can offer you up to 14 hours of life. The X Series will be available in Canada in November and it will cost $1,499 while other markets should also get the laptop soon.
