Hot on the heels of news about the upcoming Vaio W “interNetbook”, Sony has confirmed that there will indeed be new models of the slim, stylish and very expensive Vaio P coming this fall.

TechRadar has heard from a Sony rep that “Vaio P Mark 2” models will be appearing in the UK in October or November. No word on specs yet, but apparently the first thing they are focusing on is improving the minute and a half Vista boot time. Odds are the new Vaio P’s will also be optimized for Windows 7 as well.

According to TechRadar, the Sony rep has this to say about the P’s popularity…

while overall sales of the ultraportable P Series hadn’t gone through the roof, they were still selling a significant amount to certain niche markets.

I am looking forward to hearing more specifics on technical specs. Since the W is going to be retailing at 500 dollars, I doubt we can expect to see any price drops for the “Starting at $900” Vaio P. But then I suppose that luxury gadgets is a good niche, just ask Apple.
