Sony may have new VAIO P, TZ or X sequel

Sony today teased a new "VAIO New Ultra Mobile" on its Japanese pages. The company provided no clues as to what the new system would entail, including whether it's a sequel to a conventional ultraportable like the VAIO TZ or else a netbook-class device like the VAIO P or VAIO X. Customers are being encouraged to register in advance.

The PC builder has a reputation for lightweight PCs and in the VAIO X claimed the title of the world's lightest netbook, at about 1.5 pounds. It has never said how well this or the VAIO P has sold, however, and any future model may be an indication of the direction of its lineup. It may have signaled a push away from using Atom processors as the VAIO Y uses an Intel CULV processor and is targeted at a much lower price. [via Akihabara]
