We've had an exclusive look and can confirm it’s more affordable, more powerful, and almost as attractive as its predecessors.
What do you get for your considerably smaller outlay? Read below for our 10 Reasons to buy Sony Vaio VPC-M11M1E
1/ The price
At £299 it’s Sony’s best value netbook. The W Series was the same price, but that had a smaller hard drive –160GB compared to 250GB – and Windows XP instead of Windows 7.
2/ Connections
With three USB ports, a Memory Stick slot, mic and headphone jacks and a VGA port, the M Series is suitably well connected.
3/ Processor
The 1.66GHz Intel Atom processor is only single core, but can handle all your emailing and web surfing needs with ease.
4/ Screen
The 10.1-inch screen is big enough for portable movie viewing, but petite enough to slide into a manbag.
5/ Resolution
The screen’s 1024x600- pixel resolution may not be HD, but it’s passable, and the 16:10 aspect ratio can pass for widescreen.
6/ Webcam
There’s a 0.3-megapixel Motion Eye webcam on board for Skype video calls.
7/ Software
As well as the Windows Live Essentials Suite, you get Adobe Reader 9 straight out of the box, for reading PDFs.
8/ Wireless router
Bluetooth 2.1+EDR is on board, with increased security and data speeds of up to 3Mb/s.
9/ Memory
1GB of DDR2 SDRAM memory keeps everything running smoothly.
10/ WI-FI
802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi is built in as standard.
