I have two brand new Sony VGN-P688E for sale, a red one and a gold one. Friends wanted, but ended up not needing.

These are ultra light at just 1.4 lbs and very portable. The screen resolution is far better than most netbooks at 1600 x 768. It has a convenient quick-boot option for web, email, pictures, etc. There's a built in GPS receiver. 64GB SSD drive instead of the hard drive most netbooks come with. Lots of goodies.

Here's what ones looks like next to a Dell 10" netbook. As you can see, it's far thinner, and narrower, making it much more portable:





That one above is the one I ended up using, not the ones for sale here. Those are brand new and still sealed in the original box:



I'm selling these for $550 $500 each. Shipping is on me in the continental US. For those elsewhere, contact me for a quote. Payment through Paypal preferred, though we can also do this face to face if you're in SoCal.

Feel free to post here, PM me, or email me.

 

What are the colors on these? I get back in mid-Feb to SoCal, and may want one. Email me pics to ridgessp@yahoo.com. I will put a deposit down on one.

 

There's one red one and one gold one. The red one is the same color as pictured above.

The gold is a bit hard to photograph well. It's more of a metallic brass color. Here's a picture of it. Look at the upper right side and you can see the colors of the South Africa 2010 FIFA sticker at the upper right. That'll give you a frame of reference for judging the color of the laptop against:



I'll email it to you as well.

 

Price drop to $500 shipped.

 

Both sold, thanks folks.
