Sony netbooks are truly interesting cases. While netbooks are expected to be affordable, Sony still commands a premium for its VAIO netbooks. Of course, that’s only to be expected if you are a true die-hard VAIO fan. But for the rest of consumers, paying extra money as brand premium doesn’t make too much sense.

Sony VAIO M netbooks which will make their debut shortly are cheaper than expected. So much so that it has shocked many Sony fans. Of course, when a company such as Sony drops its prices, people are going to question the quality of its products.

In case of Sony VPC-M11M1E/B, you get Atom N450 1.66GHz processor along with 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 250GB 5,400rpm HDD and Intel GMA 3150 graphics. You also get bluetooth and WiFi N capability to go with it (complete specifications after the break).

Sony VAIO M netbook that is up for grabs online in UK stores doesn’t look too impressive, but it’s more recession friendly and a decent effort by Sony to reach out to more segments of the market. It’s certainly not going to be for everyone, and it’s not something you write home about. The price is right but could the product be wrong?
