How to select the right Sony Vaio laptop



P series



Though the Vaio P minilaptop sports an Intel Atom chipset, Sony has empathetically declared that this is not a Netbook. This series caters to those willing to pay an exceptionally high premium for an incredibly slim machine that makes a fashion statement. As such, battery life and performance are compromised, as the Vaio P has only a small battery and runs on the resource-intensive Windows Vista operating system.

Target market: Frequent travelers and fashion users.

Models available in this series

Description
Available in four shades, this minilaptop has an attractive metal chassis and a surprisingly comfortable keyboard, thanks to its elongated profile.

Price: S$1,299 (US$956.39)
This higher-end model sports a faster processor as well as a solid-state drive. The latter not only makes it lighter than the lower-end Vaio P, but also gives a longer battery life.

Price: S$1,699 (US$1,250.89)

Every time I look at the Sony lines of computers, notebooks and desktops, I pull away when I see the poor specs and poor build quality in ratio to their price.
