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 didn't 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 it's a proper Netbook. Specifications shouldn't be of any surprise but what is different is the build quality, which is definitely a notch above the rest. Even though it's not as slim as the Asus Seashell Netbook, it's 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? Let's find out.


 





Bundle

The reviewer's bundle only came with a charger in a mysterious black box. But on checking the website, that's all you get even in the retail package. Oddly, no driver disk seems to be present in the bundle.
