It looks like Sony has finally gone ahead and updated their netbook mini laptop offering, the Vaio P, to put it almost on par with, you know, those little computers that cost less than half as much.

It seems that sony has added a 1.6GHz Atom processor (as found in most sub-$500 netbooks) along with an optional 128GB SSD, GPS reciever and/or Verizon WWAN support. As Engadget points out this updated version still lacks factory XP support along with the newer 1.86GHz Atom processor.

In conclusion, Sony’s Vaio P looks cool (because it’s small) but still doesn’t live up to its $1,499.99 price tag.
