Sony Vaio X Series
No wider than 14mm at any point, this size zero, carbon fibre laptop has an 11.1-inch widescreen, eight-hour battery life and multi-touch trackpad. It goes on sale in the UK on October 22.

Sony just announced the VAIO X at IFA 2009 in Berlin, Germany, a half-inch thin, 11.1-inch ultraportable notebook with an all-day battery that �will set the new standard for stamina,� reports Engadget.

The system is reportedly built of carbon fiber, weighing only 1.5 lbs.

The VAIO X has an Atom processor, which probably aids the battery life considerably. Also begs the question: netbook or notebook? (Does Atom define �netbook�? Screen size? If it runs Windows 7 well, does anyone care?)

UPDATE: It will have built-in 3G support, CNET�s Erica Ogg writes live from Berlin. Yep, netbook.

Price? If the Sony P-Series Lifestyle notebook is any indication, this baby will easily run four digits.

(But hey, at least it will come with Google�s Chrome browser preinstalled.)

Still, with such form factor innovation, Sony�s showing that it�s got a lot of mojo � the kind normally attributed to a company based in Cupertino, Calif.

It also shows the company believes in netbooks � having also introduced the $499 10.1-inch W Series just two months ago.
