	The Sony VAIO VPCP was a ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) released by Sony in 2010 as a refresh of the VGN-P. This was their last UMPC and used the same form factor as the VGN-P, albeit with a refreshed exterior to replicate the style of their SVE line of laptops. Sony also increased the capacity of the battery to 2500mAh from 2100mAh, added a touchpad next to the screen and added features such as a compass, accelerometer and ambient light sensor. There was also a button added that would switch the resolution to 1280x600, to make text more readable on the tiny screen.

	These upgrades show that the VPCP was more than just a copy of the VGN-P with slightly better specs, it also had new features which allowed it to be more usable than its predecessor. Even though Sony ~~inproved~~ the specifications, the laptop is still horribly slow in Windows 7 and Vista and is only really usable in a lightweight Linux distribution or Windows XP.

Even though Sony improved the specifications, the laptop is still horribly slow in Windows 7 and Vista and is only really usable in a lightweight Linux distribution or Windows XP.

	Sony had also made the SSD standard to improve load times, the most basic VPCP having a 64GB Sandisk IDE SSD, which can be upgraded as it uses the same connector as an iPod classic 5th gen and newer hard drive. Higher capacity options such as the 128GB and 256GB featured a Samsung SATA SSD, which was the same LIF SSD that was found in VAIOs such as the VPCZ1 and VPCSA. The LIF SSDs used a special HDD cable containing a SATA-IDE bridge, so are harder to upgrade. This meant that the VPCP is silent when in use due to the SSD and use of passive cooling.

	The VPCP is only usable for extremely basic web browsing and offline productivity tasks, due to the very weak CPU and graphics (which cannot even run Aero smoothly). Windows 10 is compatible with the VPCP, but expect it to run very slowly, instead you are better off running Windows XP or Linux for the fastest experience. The device is incapable of any gaming except Minesweeper and Solitaire. The GMA 500 graphics also has little support for Linux, though it does work and runs better than Windows 7.

			It does fit in some big pockets so it is a pretty good candidate for writing articles on the go in a very small package as the keyboard is at least not super tiny but still cramped and will not be a great typing experience.
