Sony’s first foray into the world of portable computers for nuclear propulsion was the P-series Vaio computer lifestyle with a unique design miniaturized (about the same footprint as a business model) file, but it was warm outstanding issues (not prevent CSA) and use the operating system of Windows Vista. After the release of this product, Sony is the fact that, despite the Atom processor and the small size, certainly not Netbook. The new Vaio W, on the other hand, obviously a netbook with Windows XP, a screen 10 inches, and a form factor familiar netbook.

Sony VAIO W111XX Review

While the $ 499 price may cause sticker shock, and the main ingredient is not much different from what we have in a game $ 299 – $ 399 netbook Sony hopes that the inclusion of a high 1366 x 768-screen definition is sufficient to Further detailed investigations Vaio W line for the elusive netbook category of premium – perhaps the Holy Grail of PC manufacturers to avoid the reduction of price wars at the lowest level of biz netbook.

If the HI-res screen is worth $ 100 (or more) premium for you, as the Vaio W is one of the best overall package Netbook, but the same basic combo of processor Intel Atom N280, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive and Windows XP is much cheaper. Dell Mini 10 less snazzy the future with such a hi-def screen for about the same price, and offers greater flexibility should be provided in the configuration.

Although not the lightest and thinnest 10-netbook inches around, the Sony Vaio W provides a solid, well built house that feels he has seen more stable than some of the cheapest netbooks that do. Our unit is decorated in all-over pink, a rich, dark pink on the cover, a pink with plans for the keyboard tray, a delicate pink crosshatch on the surface of the touchpad. If this is not your color pink, brown and white versions are also available.

With the recent (and welcome) trend of the size buttons for netbooks – relatively speaking, of course – we just were surprised to see how the small keyboard W. Vaio looks and feels like a less-clone notebook Vaio standard keyboard reduced, with shallow, widely spaced keys. But what makes the individual keys are smaller than we are, and operation of the tab and right shift key is too small.

Sony includes software Media Plus the custom for organizing and playing multimedia files. This application is good, but we tend to carefully invest the time to learn proprietary software that uses a brand of laptop.

The real star here is the 10.1-inch widescreen display LED. It offers a 1366 x 768 resolution natively, which is higher than the level of 1024 netbook X600. We have also seen that the highest resolution on a pair of 11.6-inch laptops such as Asus Eee PC 1101HA.

While it is probably best suited to screens 11 inches, it works almost as well as the smaller 10-inch, and we have no text or images too small to be seen. Of course, your experience with HD video files with video netbook anemic different abilities, and we were able to download HD versions of episodes of television show Hulu, but weakened in full screen mode.

As a Sony Vaio, it is not surprising that there is a second support slot for a Memory Stick property. And then, at the upper end of range Netbook, it is not surprising, Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi (HDMI, but found the same favorable Dell Mini 10).

The difference is not great, but in a system with little space is processed, every little bit counts. We found the surf Vaio W is perfect for the netbook basic tasks, Internet, e-mail to work on office documents – and are much easier to use as a P-series Sony Netbook.

Final Words and Conclusion

The Sony Vaio W ran for 2 hours and 19 minutes free for our video playback drain the battery with the battery has three cells. It is frustrating for a netbook, especially since these systems are designed for road use. Leak test the battery we are very demanding, so you can wait a bit more relaxed life of the Web-surfing and office. Sony has an industry-standard one year parts and labor with the system. Upgrading to a three year plan is an additional 169 support is great, with 24-7-free telephone line is available to support a well-designed site with a knowledge base and driver downloads.
