LAS VEGAS, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Japan's Sony Corp (6758.T) plans to launch the world's lightest 8-inch notebook PC, taking aim squarely at a rapidly growing market for ultra-portalbe personal computers.

The new Sony Vaio PC will come with Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O) Windows Vista operating system, supporting all the software programs found in full-sized notebooks, and sell for about $900, setting itself apart from Netbooks.

The new Sony product is equipped with 2GB RAM , 128 GB hard drive and 1.6 GHz CPU. In other words the Japanese company is offering something less expensive (not to say almost 50% cheaper) than the MacBook Air but not something worse than the 'Thinnovation'.

The new Sony Vaio P-series are expected to hit the European market in February.
