A new Sony netbook tipped up at IFA called the Vaio X. The machine has a large 11.1-inch screen making it seem more like an ultraportable than a netbook. The little machine is sweet though with its carbon fibre frame.

It is a mere 14mm thick and weighs 700g. Inside the slick chassis is an Intel Atom processor, as you would expect. The rig will have 2GB of RAM and a VGA output along with a memory card reader.

Dual USB ports will be offered as well. Sony is mum on pricing and the Vaio X is expected to show up this fall. With a carbon fibre frame, I bet the machine is going to be very expensive.
