Overview: Sony Mini laptop

http://www.laptopsarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sony-mini-laptop-sony-ux-sony-vaio-tz.jpg


I’m sure you’ve noticed more and more mini laptop computers arriving on the market, released by the worldwide leading computer manufacturers like ASUS, Acer, HP or MSI. According to statistics, by the end of this year there will be sold approximately 5.2 million netbooks, and the number will increase up to 50 million in 2012.


In the mini laptops category are all models under 13.3 inches, including netbooks designed for wireless Internet use, ultra-mobile PCs and portable entertainment computers like the latest 11.1-inch Sony VAIO mini laptop models we will take a look at today.


The company provided a few mini laptops in the past years, which almost vanished without allowing us to know them in detail, but the models people are still talking today about are the VAIO UX Micro PC launched in 2007 and the new VAIO TZ series.


VAIO UX mini laptop has a sliding 4.5-inch widescreen display with XBRITE LCD technology, which reveals the full QWERTY keyboard, and weighs just 1.1 lbs in a very small pocketable form factor with rounded edges.


Even if it’s small, measuring 5.91 x 3.74 x 1.27-1.50 inches and combining a tablet PC design with a laptop, VAIO UX runs on a strong mobile processor of 1.2GHz, the Intel Core 2 Solo Ultra Low Voltage. In addition, it has 48GB Solid State Drive storage type to conserve power and increase battery life, Wireless WAN, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth GPS receiver, biometrics fingerprint sensor, and up to 7 hours of continuous operating time. It also provides front and back digital cameras.


Another difference between netbooks and mini laptop computers, besides the larger number of capabilities provided by the latter, is the high price difference, which allows you to distinguish between them easily. Netbooks are cheap computers available at around $300, while the other category including Sony mini laptop computers, has stylish designs with powerful features and are built using the latest manufacturing technologies to enable miniaturization of strong components powering standard notebooks.


http://www.laptopsarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sony-mini-laptop-sony-ux-sony-vaio-tz-3.jpg


For example, let’s take a look at the Sony VAIO TZ 3,699-dollars business notebook launched at the beginning of this year. It is an expensive model optimized for business people’s requirements such as mobile performance, portable entertainment, fast processing speeds and long battery life.


This Sony mini laptop series brings all these elements in a durable carbon fiber housing, weighting just 1.24Kg.


During the 7 hours of battery life, the Sony mini laptop allows you to watch high-quality images on its 11.1-inch X-black LCD display with 72% color gamut, and see your colleagues while chatting with the built-in microphone and Motion Eye web camera wirelessly, using the Wireless WAN connectivity that enables 3.6Mbps download speeds.


To send and receive files from mobile handhelds, the laptop has Bluetooth wireless technology.


Playing games on the go enhances your entertainment experience thanks to the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 chipset with 3D support, while the Intel Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage processor and Mobile Intel 945GMS Express chipset enable fast multitasking for all your complex applications, even in low light conditions as it features the LED backlight 1366 x 768 screen.


http://www.laptopsarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sony-mini-laptop-sony-ux-sony-vaio-tz-2.jpg


Other features of the VAIO TZ include 2GB memory, enough o run the Windows Vista Business operating system that comes pre-installed on the Sony mini laptop, fingerprint reader, Trusted Platform Module, HDD Shock Protection, DVD burner, 120GB HDD, and stereo speakers.


Sony is also planning the release of a new netbook, probably by the end of this year, and rumors say it will work with the VIA technology, with a design based on the 8.9-inch VIA mini laptop computers, featuring a 1.6 GHz C7-M processor, the VX800 chipset, 1GB memory, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WiMac support, 60GB storage, and will run on the Windows Vista Home Premium operating system.

Overview: Sony Vaio typeA

http://laptoping.com/wp-content/sony_vaio_type_a.jpg


Sony has unveiled the VAIO type A laptop for photographers and video editors.


The VAIO type A features a 18.4-inch display with LED backlit and a resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels (full HD), the Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 processor at 2.53GHz, a Blu-ray burner, up to 4GB of RAM, and dual 250GB hard drives.


In addition, it has eSATA and Firewire ports, three USB 2.0 ports, and a “high-speed UDMA-enabled CF slot for quick image transfers off your DSLR’s CompactFlash card”.


“As Sony’s newest media flagship, we’re also looking at HDMI-out, 802.11n WiFi, GeForce 9600M GT graphics, and a full suite of included image and video editing software from Adobe. All this in a relatively hefty 3.9-kg (8.6-pounds) rig. Although, with just 2-hours of battery you’ll want to spring for the optional 3-hour add-on,” Engadget reports.


The new VAIO is priced at around ¥320,000 (around $3,000) and will be available in Japan at the end of September. There is no information on US availability.

Review: Sony VAIO FZ






Our review version of the FZ, priced starting at $1,199.99 with Intel graphics, has the following specifications:

  • Screen: 15.4-inch screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with XBRITE-ECO (glossy finish)
  • Processor: 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7300
  • Hard Drive: 200 GB hard drive (SATA, 4200RPM)
  • Memory: 2GB RAM (PC5300, 667 MHz, DDR2 SDRAM) -- 4GB max memory
  • Optical Drive: DVD+-R Double layer / DVD+-RW Drive (Blu-ray drive optional)
  • Ports and Slots: Three USB 2.0, one FireWire 400 port, one ExpressCard 34, one S-Video, one VGA, one MemoryStick Pro reader, one SD card reader, headphone / line-out, microphone-in, modem, 10/100 Ethernet
  • Wireless: Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
  • Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT available)
  • Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium
  • Dimensions: 14.0" x 10.2" x 1.4" (Width x Depth x Height)
  • Weight: 5.75 pounds

Conclusion

The Sony VAIO FZ is a nice looking notebook with a solid set of features that are sure to appeal to people looking for a full-featured notebook with clean lines. While the entry-level version of the FZ with integrated Intel graphics lacks the power for serious gaming, even the Intel chipset provides enough performance for a mobile multimedia center. The optional NVIDIA graphics, blu-ray and HDMI make the FZ a perfect HD powerhouse. If Sony could only find a way to fix the annoying AV Mode button error, remove some of the bloatware, and improve battery life the FZ would be nearly perfect.


Pros

  • Simple design with clean looks
  • Fast Core 2 Duo processors and up to 4GB of RAM provide plenty of system performance
  • Screen has excellent horizontal viewing angles
  • Solid build quality and sturdiness
  • Stays cool and makes little noise
  • Good keyboard if you don't mind flat keys

Cons

  • Useless AV button
  • Too much bloatware installed
  • Poor battery life
  • Only three USB ports.

Review:- Sony VAIO FW






Our Sony VAIO FW (vgn-fw198u) specifications:

  • Screen: Sony XBRITE-HiColor 16.4" 1600 x 900 display, glossy
  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 6MB Cache)
  • Operating System:Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 (32-bit)
  • Memory: 4GB RAM (only 3GB usable)
  • Storage: 320GB HDD (5400rpm)
  • Optical Drive: DVD+/-RW / BD-R DL
  • Wireless: Intel 5100 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0 w/ EDR
  • Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 w/ 256MB
  • Built-in web camera
  • Battery: 4400mAh Li-Ion Battery
  • Dimensions: 15.12" x 1.14"-1.45" x 10.27" (38.4cm x 2.9-3.7cm x 26.1cm)
  • Weight: 6.83 lbs (3.1kg)
  • Retail Price: $2,149

Conclusion

The VAIO FW is a great step forward for Sony, and a worthy competitor to the Dell Studio 15 or even the Toshiba A305. The design is great, but more importantly the build quality is excellent. It feels solid, with a reasonably firm screen cover and keyboard that feels as if a child could walk across it. Performance was more than adequate in every area except 3D performance, but hopefully Sony decides to offer a higher performing graphics card as an option at a later date. The only real flaw that stood out to me was the screen, with its uneven backlight. Hopefully this is a preproduction unit flaw, and not something that shows up on shipping models.

Pros

  • Great design
  • Solid build quality
  • Extra-Widecreen (neat for movies and more perceived screen real estate)
  • Comfortable keyboard once you get used to it

Cons

  • Battery life with smaller battery is poor
  • LCD backlight unevenness
  • Speakers sound rather anemic
