Instant On Tour of Sony Vaio P series (XrossMediaBar)
Taking a tour of the Instant On UI with a 2009 Sony Vaio P series laptop (Cross bar XMB). It's meant to provide a browser and media playback without having to fully boot into Windows which was slow at the time.

Yeah buddy, good to see you are still around. Hope your Spring is nice. Thanks for the vid

[@Kirby7601]

the fact that they made it like the ps3 menu is attention to detail

[@Raptor50aus]

Wow the prices of this model are crazy high. Nice laptop.

it does have a power button i can see it .. id give it vista or windows home or pro

[@jasonnovak2121]

Sure, yes if you turn it on via the power button it will boot into Windows like a standard PC, the special button boots directly into "Instant On" mode instead. It was mean for the days of slower computers and drives where it could take a few minutes to fully boot into Windows, with "instant on" you could quickly get into a browser in about 10-15 seconds.

[@LostShadowGD]

I have NO idea what my vaio is or how old it is

[@jasonnovak2121]

There should be a VGN-# or similar model number on the bottom sticker which should give more details if you google it

[@LostShadowGD]

@@jasonnovak2121 cool thanks. I think it's 2012, but idk

[@jasonnovak2121]
