The Sony Mini VAIO is getting a flash memory upgrade to 32GB which means (obviously) more storage, but more importantly faster boot times and energy savings as flash memory takes less power then a spinning disk hard drive.
Some other shinning features of the Sony Mini VAIO are wireless LAN & WAN, 4.5inch touch-screen, sliding keyboard and Windows Vista Basic. As being the first flash memory based VAIO the price tag comes in just at $2,500 USD – WOW.
