VAIO P will be available with 1.86GHz CPU, but it’ll cost you

Posted on 08 January 2009

I’m sure more than a few of you winced at the notion that the VAIO P would be trying to run Vista on a 1.33GHz Atom (Silverthorne) CPU. Probably not worth the increase in price, but jkOnTheRun has received word…
