If Sony’s original netbook was too overpriced for you, then the good news is, Sony are releasing a new netbook model at a lower price of £300. While still not really a budget netbook it does make owning a VAIO netbook more realistic. The VAIO M is due to be launched at the end of the month in the UK for £300. Tesco currently have the netbook listed on their website and their new catalogue, with an end of March release date. The netbook is available in both white and black but, Tesco are charging an extra £30 for the white model.

If you haven’t picked up Sony’s first official netbook yet, the VAIO W11S1E, it may be time to do so. I’ve been thinking of picking one up myself and took a look on PC World to see how much they were and if they were now available for collection from store. After finding nothing from the site, I checked back on our previous story about the Vaio W and followed the link. The PC World link now takes users to the netbook section. It it still possible to buy the VAIO W11S1E from the UK though as Amazon still have the netbook in stock.

Sony are replacing their VAIO CS line of laptops with CW notebooks. They will launch in the UK on October 22nd with Windows 7 as the operating system. The VAIO CW is available in blue, red, white and pink. Featuring 4GB of RAM, Dual Core processor and a 320GB hard drive. For the display it’ll use a 14 inch widescreen display with a 16:9 ratio. Other specs include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a web camera, DVD drive and a HDMI output port.

The VAIO CW is also available in black which comes with a Blu-Ray drive.
