Sony VAIO CW

Sony VAIO CW If you remember, Sony announced a couple new notebooks with quite aggressive price tags just a few of weeks back. Along with the super sexy X series, we also have the mainstream CW series which is what weve got for review today. Until now, if you wanted a solid performing multimedia notebook that was reasonably priced, we had just two major options, either a Dell or an HP. Now, Sony is all set to enter this space and compete with the bigwigs in this category.  The VPCCW16FG/P that we got for review comes packed with plenty of brute force. For starters, we have an Intel Core2Duo P8700 running at 2.5GHz in the heart of the notebook. We have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for proper utilization of the 4GB DDR3 memory. The best bit is the graphics card which is Nvidias latest GT 230M which comes with 512MB of GDDR3 RAM. If this is anything like the GT220, which is the desktop variant, we can easily expect some good gaming performance. To view all this goodness, we have a 14...

Sony VAIO S VPCSB16FG Review Sony VAIO S Series of laptops has always catered to the student and business segment, but with a touch of style and elegance. The latest generation in this series comes with Sandy Bridge processors from Intel , to make things even more interesting. Naturally, it is expected to be more energy-efficient and powerful, thus having better performance and a longer battery life. We have the latest Sony VAIO S 13.3" laptop with us. Let us see if it is really better than its predecessor. Sony VAIO S Design and Features The new Sony VAIO S no longer sports the thick and curvy plastic casing of the previous generation, but instead goes at least half way in the direction of the VAIO Z in terms of design. It instead comes with a black magnesium-reinforced chassis and keyboard rest made of a single aluminium sheet, which gives it a classy look as well as ruggedness and adequate protection against wear and tear. Weighing just 1.69 kg and with a thickness of just 2...

SONY MIGHT LAUNCH A VAIO WINDOWS PHONE IN 2014

SONY MIGHT LAUNCH A VAIO WINDOWS PHONE IN 2014 According to an insider, Sony are apparently considering to launch a Windows Phone device and it might happen as early as mid-2014. No deal has been signed between the company and Microsoft though but if the deal actually goes through, the new Sony Windows Phone will be positioned under the company�s VAIO family which is currently serving Windows-based laptops to consumers. This particular report is quite interesting to say the least since Sony have been sticking exclusively to Google�s Android for that past few years when it comes to their Xperia smartphones. Then again, it�s not that Sony never had any fling with Microsoft�s smartphone operating system before; considering the fact that Sony Ericsson�s first Xperia smartphone was actually a Windows Mobile device. Not to forget, Sony Ericsson have also came out with Windows Phone 7 prototype codenamed �Jolie� although the device didn�t get to see the light of the day eventually. So, what d...

Sony Vaio W VPCW115XG P

Sony Vaio W VPCW115XG P At last Sony has succumbed to the temptation and launched its first version of the Vaio W Netbook. The Vaio P was a great toy to flaunt but didnt offer any practical value as it lacked performance. The Vaio W on the other hand offers style as well as substance and is a lot more practical as its a proper Netbook. Specifications shouldnt be of any surprise but what is different is the build quality, which is definitely a notch above the rest. Even though its not as slim as the Asus Seashell Netbook, its incredibly lightweight, thanks to the materials used to build the body. Another striking feature of this Netbook is that, for the first time we have 1366x768 resolution on a 10.1" screen. This makes text and images appear a lot sharper, while the LED backlit screen makes it more vivid as well. The Vaio W definitely makes its presence felt but can it win the battle of the best battery life when compared to veterans like Asus? Lets find out.   Bundle The reviewe...
