How to select the right Sony Vaio laptop



SR series



The Vaio SR series acknowledges the fact that business portables also serve as personal entertainment machines. As such, it is the first laptop to sport a dedicated "Switch" button that changes the desktop theme based on current needs. Here is a brief rundown of the three profiles available and a list of shortcut displayed at the bottom of the screen.


The shortcut icons change depending on the profile selected.
Business profile
  • Turn on Vaio presentation support
  • Mute the sound
  • Connect to Vaio Smart Network
  • Access Windows Meeting Space


    • Entertainment profile
  • Open Vaio Music Box
  • Turn on Web Cam Companion
  • Open Vaio Movie Story
  • Open Click to Disc/Click to Disc Editor
  • Open WinDVD for Vaio


    • Personal profile
  • Open Windows Media Player
  • Play/Pause
  • Rewind
  • Fast Forward
  • Eject


    • To ensure data security, the SR series is equipped with a biometric fingerprint sensor and TPM security chip. The HDD Protection system parks the harddisk reader arm to prevent it from scratch the magnetic platters if the unit is dropped.

    Target market: Frequent travelers; students; business, entertainment and fashion users.

    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.
