At least the W offers 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the standard configuration.Click to EnlargeThe 15.5-inch, 1366 x 768 LED backlit display on the E15 delivered rich colors overall, but we were most taken with the deep blacks and varied shades of blues throughout "The Amazing Spider-Man" YouTube trailer in 1080p. The only other I/O options you get are VGA-out, a 10/100 ethernet port, a 1.3-megapixel Webcam, and headphone and mic jacks. Instead of an extra USB port, we get an extra memory card slot, dedicated to Memory Stick (the other card slot handles SD Cards). What else could have been better? More than two USB 2.0 ports. They don’t feel as if they are going to fall off, but maybe nice, firm metallic buttons camping closer to the lower edge would have been better.

But unfortunately, it lacks multitouch driver functionality, and it has two plastic buttons that feel a little shallow. The touchpad garners fewer gripes because it has an average-sized strike zone with a texture difference so you know where your fingers should be. Meanwhile, the oversized “1” key all but guarantees I’ll typ1e 1’s w1hen 1 don’t mean t1o. Trying to write this review on the W, for example, took a whole lot longer than normal if only because I had to slow down and keep backtracking. And I don’t know what this says about me, but three keys that I find myself using often–Esc, Tab, Delete–and the spacebar buttons are all too small for their own good.

I’ve always been a fan of Sony’s cut-out keys, but for some reason the buttons here feel oddly scrunched and a little harder to use than those of many other netbooks to make their way through the PC World Test Center. Second, 3 hours is a far cry from the 10 hours that Toshiba’s NB205-310 lasted in our tests (and that machine costs $100 less).Īs for the keyboard and mouse on the W, my initial vibe is one of disappointment. I obviously can’t pass judgment at this point, but that isn’t exactly a promising number for two reasons: First, our tests usually show battery life being about 30 minutes less than advertised times. Sony claims that this machine will last for 3 hours with standard usage. We’re also waiting on final numbers for battery life tests. We’re running into a couple of WorldBench 6 test anomalies that we need to work out first. While everyday applications seem to load reasonably quickly, we can’t give you the definitive scored review just yet. Otherwise, the 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU and 1GB of RAM are enough to get the job done here. Images and text are so small that your first stop will likely be the Windows Control Panel to tinker with font sizes. As we complained regaring the Dell Mini 10’s sharp screen, the high resolution can be a little difficult to read at times. Whether this resolution makes for workability on such a small system is another question.

The 1368-by-768-pixel native resolution means sharp detail and a 720p high-definition picture (the unit delivered good-quality, stutter-free 720p video). A sample image with a flower on a leafy background stood out as particularly sharp compared with other netbooks. Minimal glare combined with rich colors and a sharp contrast make pictures pop. Properly positioned (that is, with the screen pushed back to a 45-degree angle), this display wowed me. The 10.1-inch backlit-LCD panel delivers amazing picture quality. The big scene-stealer, though, has to be the screen.

(Sony takes full advantage of this marketing opportunity: You’ll see a big, silvery VAIO logo on the back of the lid at least, it’s not nearly as obnoxious as what you’ll see on the lid of the Samsung Go.) The rounded curves and firmly designed plastic frame makes it a bit of a coffee-shop eye-grabber. The unit measures 10.5 by 7.1 by 1.3 inches, and weighs 2.6 pounds, putting it right in line with other netbooks packing a 10.1-inch screen. This device comes in three colors ranging from stark white and subdued brown to a hot pink. Like most Sony products, style plays an integral role with the Vaio W. Some of these I can deal with, while others left me unsatisfied and scratching my head. The VAIO W isn’t Sony’s first netbook–technically, that honor belongs to the fashion-forward Vaio P, even if the company touted the P as a bite-sized “lifestyle laptop.” But the Sony Vaio W Series netbooks are the first to angle for a more traditional size (hint: It won’t fit in your coat pocket), a more reasonable price (our review unit sells for “only” $499), and a couple of nips and tucks.
