Expert Review:
After the launch of a super expensive notebook, the ‘Lifestyle PC’ earlier this year, Sony recently launched an amazing new netbook in the Sony Vaio W series. It is one of the early birds to take the utmost advantage of the newly relaxed rules by Intel concerning their netbooks.
A 10 inch display and a remarkable resolution of 1,366 x 768 is significantly larger than most standard netbooks available today. The LED is similar to other netbooks, but the resolution is a huge improvement and the rest of the manufacturers such as Acer, Asus, and Samsung will surely follow suit as soon as they possibly can. The pictures on the screen are razor sharp, though the W-series follows the trend of reflective glossy displays.
Available in three astonishing colors, the very stylish Sony Vaio W series has all the usual netbook features such as a Wi Fi, blue tooth, 160 GB HDD and 1 GB RAM. It also comes loaded with an Intel Atom N280 processor, built in motion eye camera and microphone, SD memory card slot, Windows XP home, 2 USB 2.0 ports, Intel HD audio, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, Memory Stick PRO Duo with MagicGate functionality and Electro-static touch pad.
On the negative end, though, is the two hour battery pack which is ridiculously low as compared to the 8 hour battery pack available in the market today, especially when the product is priced at $ 499.99.
The product will be available in the market next month, but you can place your order now online at the Sony style website.
