This new ultra portable, dubbed Vaio X, will feature a LED backlit 11.1 LCD, possibly a Atom processor.

The look of the Vaio X is very nice, lightweight and ultra-slim laptop will come with an integrated 3G wireless support, an all day battery and an Ethernet port. The lid is carbon fibre, like the existing T-Series, while the 700g featherlight chassis is slim but sturdy. We saw two different lid styles, one glossy, one matt. Sony says it will “set the new standard for stamina,” but didn’t provide an estimate for battery life. There’s an Atom processor inside, but Sony didn’t specify which flavor.
