If you head over to Best Buy's official website now, you can pre-order your very own Sony Vaio W netbook for $499 USD. The Vaio W is listed as "Online Only" and comes in the three colours you see above: pink, white, and brown. If you pre-order it now it's expected to ship by August 18th - at the latest. Just in case you forgot, it has: a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N280 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, two USB 2.0 ports, a built-in webcam, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, WiFi b/g/n, and an underwhelming 3-cell battery. It also runs Windows XP, weighs 2.6 pounds, and is 1.3-inches thick. Engadget already has their review up for this netbook and they've mentioned that it's "personable and pricey, and that's pretty much it."
