Sony to Sell World's Lightest Laptop in Dec.
By: Reuters   |   Nov 01, 2006
Japan's Sony has said that it plans to start selling the world's lightest notebook computer in December in Japan, in a bid to boost its presence among business users. Weighing 898 grams, Sony's 'type G' Vaio computer will be the lightest laptop PC, and comes with a 12.1-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, the electronics and entertainment conglomerate said. On the sidelines of a news conference on the new Vaio models, Sony Senior Vice President Yoshihisa Ishida said that recent recalls of Sony-made batteries are expected to have little impact on its personal computer operations.

Top PC makers including Dell and Apple Computer are recalling up to 9.6 million Sony batteries, which on rare occasions could overheat and catch fire, raising concern that production of replacement-use batteries may reduce Sony's supply capability for batteries that go into new PCs. Sony said it expects a basic model of its new 'type G' computer, which runs for about 12.5 hours on a battery and is not equipped with an optical drive, to sell for about 220,000 yen ($1,881).

It has no plans at the moment to offer the 'type G' models overseas.
