According to rumors, Sony Chrome OS VAIO will have an 11.6-inch PC with a 1366x768 resolution display. The notebook that will run on NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor will have a 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage capacity. The Chrome OS-based Sony notebook that will weigh at almost 1kg will probably have features like WWAN, WiFi and Bluetooth and GPS. The device will have dimensions of 298 x 215 x 19.9 mm and will feature a number of VAIO custom applications along with Google’s new Chrome OS.

Sony VAIO Hybrid PC will also play on NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor. The device will be a slim Core i7 machine with features like Intel WiDi, SSD storage, HDMI and Intel Thunderbolt like Apple’s latest MacBook Pro. The device will weigh at 1.13kg and will run 8 to 16.5 hours on battery thanks to the lack of an onboard optical drive. Whistler-XT 1GB GPU, Blu-ray burner, HDMI and VGA outputs, Ethernet and USB ports will also be the leading features of the notebook.
