Turns out by the time Sony went official with its inaugural Vaio W netbook, it was already old news to the Chinese KIRF market. The “Vaio” pictured above apparently came out some time in mid-June and does a laudable job of honoring the actual one’s chassis, although the keyboard is more traditional than Sony’s isolated / chiclet stylings. Throw in a 10.2-inch LED display, 1.6GHz Atom processor, integrated graphics, a 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM, and decently convincing packaging and you’d be liable to think you went through a time warp spotting this in Shenzhen. It’s got a pretty sizable head start on the legit version, but something tells us this particular model won’t be trying its luck elsewhere in the world.
