High-resolution 10-inch netbook from Sony / 08.07.2009 04:12
Low-cost compact laptop PCs, known as netbooks, are now mainstream products. Screen size tends to define the overall size of a small netbook computer, with 10 inches having become as the most common size for a device with decent keyboard and viewable dispay. Although Sony has had small notebook PCs available for years, it was one of the last major brands to introduce a netbook PC.
The Sony Vaio W Series is a compact netbook that is made available in three colors brown, pink and white. The display is the common 10.1 inches in size, but the resolution is higher than in your average netbook; 1368 x 768 pixels. Many notebooks with fifteen-inch screens don't come with as high resolution as the Vaio W Series. Standard text size on web pages and documents will look tiny, but pictures and videos will benefit from high-resolution, high-density display. The W Series unit measurements are (in inches) 10.54 wide, 1.28 thick, and 7.07 tall.
The Sony Vaio W Series is powered by Intel processor running at 1.66GHz, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator and Windows XP software. 1GB of RAM and 160GB hard drive provide ample work and storage space. The product comes with webcam, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Memory Stick & SD memory card slot, two USB ports, VGA output, and microphone and speaker jacks.
Battery life with a standard battery is 2 hours. According to our own experience with other netbooks, two hours won't be enough for most people. We recommend budgeting for extra battery if you are interested in this PC. Sony's list prices for the Sony Vaio W Series start from USD 500. A smaller, almost pocket-size alternative to the W Series is the Sony P Series Lifestyle PC.
