 Las Vegas (AFP) Jan 7, 2009
 Japanese electronics giant Sony on Wednesday debuted a powerful, fashionable notebook computer small enough to fit in a purse or suit jacket.

The Vaio P Series "lifestyle" personal computer is the size of a standard business envelope for mail and weighs a mere 1.4 pounds.

"It easily fits in a purse and I know for a fact it fits in a jacket pocket," Stan Glasgow, head of Sony's operations in the United States, said as he unveiled a garnet-colored P Series Vaio in Las Vegas on the eve of the Consumer Electronics Show.

"Aside from its design, it is a serious piece of technology."

The mini-notebook has built-in Bluetooth and wireless Internet connection hardware along with global positioning satellite (GPS) technology.

"You can be connected where ever there is a cell phone signal," Glasgow said.

The stylishly small Vaio has a high-resolution 8-inch LCD screen. It is priced at 900 dollars and will be available in stores late this month, according to Sony.
