Sony Vaio VPC-SB16FG

70% Review: Sony VAIO S (VPCSB16FG)
Bron: Techtree.com EN→NL Archive.org version
The Sony VAIO S is a stylish and sturdy laptop, well-suited for students and business users. Portability has been well-taken care of, with the laptop weighing just 1.69 kg. Sony has paid attention to the ergonomics of the keyboard, allowing you to use it for longer periods without experiencing fatigue. Battery life has increased, thanks to the newer components such as the Sandy Bridge processor. The same processor, along with the capability to switch to AMD Radeon graphics turns it from a long battery life portable laptop to a high performance workstation. Although you have to pay extra, Smart Battery does provide you with the option to instantly double the battery life, which is something like a boon for people on the move. One major gripe about this otherwise excellent laptop is its poor display quality. If the display would have been better, it would have been very easy for us to recommend this laptop. While you can configure it online before you buy, the configuration we received costs Rs 56,990, which is a bit on the higher side, considering the fact that it does not come with a Blu-ray drive.
