Sony Vaio P with 1.86 GHz Atom now shipping from Dynamism

vaiopThe Sony Vaio P has captured the imagination of quite a few geeks (like me) since it’s unveiling at the CES earlier this year.  The small sexy notebook with the awesome keyboard and super high-res screen is easily the smallest notebook that has virtually no compromises for all-day use.

The tech world was a little miffed when they heard that the Vaio P was available with a faster Atom processor running at 1.86 GHz but only in Japan.  It seems only the 1.33 GHz models (and slower) are offered in the US and while that is a capable processor those spending the premium dollars for the Vaio P are the type of consumer who want the fastest processor available.

The folks at Dynamism have been busy and are now offering the fastest Vaio P for sale in the US and they’ve informed us this model is now shipping.  The model currently shipping is the black Vaio P and has a 128 GB SSD onboard with the 1.86 GHz Atom.  This top-of-the-line model does not come cheap as it will set you back $2099, a healthy chunk of change to be sure.

It’s important to note that this is the Japanese model imported by Dynamism and while you get the typical superb Dynamism warranty with your purchase you are also giving up a couple of features the US model contains.  There is no integrated 3G option on the Japanese model and no integrated GPS either.  This may not be important to many, but it’s a shame to pay a premium price and lose two pretty key features.  This model also ships with the “enhanced battery” which we take to mean an extended capacity battery so it will probably get pretty good battery life.
