“Is that a VAIO in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”

Posted on January 10th, 2009 by Akky Akimoto

I just got back from Sony’s “VAIO type P” blogger event in Ginza, Tokyo. The type P is a pretty compact machine but it still has impressive features for a notebook PC. (I’m trying to stop myself from clicking the “Buy Now” button.)

Sony’s “It fits in your back pocket” promotion prompted some net users to create this hilarious parody.

Thinkpad in a pocket?

Macintosh?

How about Dell?

    Haha … looks like you really need “deep pockets” … typical Vaio ;)

    How was typing on the keyboard?

    Awesome. That looks like a neat little machine. Not too sure about that narrow screen though.

    Those parodies are good. But not as good as the HP-Macbook Air Parody: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=gQkdVymW8C8

    The project manager of the product explained that the “thinness” is their priority, so it must affect their selection of keypads. Key touch is not great, but the size of the keyboard is wide enough, which is important for me.

    @1rick that is funny!

    I thought you suggested another one but this one I had never watched.
