Sony P Series Ships With 1.3 GHz CPU in U.S., 1.6 GHz in UK

[JMcEntegart]

Last week in Las Vegas we happened upon (okay, so it was repeatedly in our faces every time we turned around during our Sony appointment) Sony’s P Series Lifestyle PC. While there wasn't much in the way of specs, we did have a couple of scraps..

Maybe because the U.K. version is about %40 more expensive...

may also have something to do with purchasing trends in the us vs uk. they may have figured the 1.6 would do better there (for some marketing reason).

sony sucks... quit your crying... sony products are an epic fail.

i don't know or haven't read anything of a 1.3 GHz atom.

 

[astrotrain1000]

I agree with zodaicfml, sounds like mistake. Never heard of a 1.3 GHz atom.

 

[Regulas]

If it was a Mac with OS X on it I could see the price. This thing is way overpriced. I have a nice little Eee PC with a 9" screen 1.6Ghz Atom and 160GB HD with XP for $350.

 

[Hatecrime69]

for over $1000 with an atom is a rip-off no matter how you cut it. So being slower is non-issue anyway if you ask me. At that price for the top-end you might as well spend the extra few hundred dollars and get a macbook air, at least you'd get a core 2 duo

UK models start at £849, at current exchange rates that's around $1270 US, the cheapest US model is $899. Hell we deserve it.

Waaah waahhh, we can't have the best. What's your next ploy? Scream and scream until you are sick? Please grow up.

Since they don't know the model, how do they know it's going to be less powerful at 1.3 GHz? Really stupid to go by the clock speed.

Not true ,don`t know where you experts get your sources from but the Sony UK web sites advertisez 1.33ghz only so stop rubbish talking and missinforming the public on a grand scale.

THe z520 is 2w as opposed to the Atom 270 2.5w either than that the 1.33ghz would be terrible rather the 1.86ghz is better z570 atom
