We finally could move to Ginza where took place Sony’s Press conference for the all new Netbook, the Vaio X.
If we could shoot some pictures during the CEATEC 2009, we didn’t get it in our hands to test it..
Regarding the specs, we have an Atom Z540 (1.86GHz) CPU, an 11.1’’ LCD WXGA (1366×768 ) screen, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of SSD, an Intel GMA 500, Wi-Fi, as well as W-WAN (Docomo), Camera, Bluetooth, and office Personal 2007.
So, we had some times with this new baby, and to be honest, we are not really impressed, but not disappointed… This X Series is a good Netbook…A solid and really stylish netbook with an aluminum and carbon fiber body… Regarding the design, nothing to complain, the Vaio X is a success…
But why Sony chose to put an Atom CPU… According to the Japanese manufacturer, this new series had been made to complete their offer, not to replace the Vaio P… But they would make something practical, with a bigger screen, still light and easy to carry… And, this is right, this baby is really light (655g against 639g for the Vaio P), and thin (13.9mm)… Fortunately, Sony didn’t forget to integrate 64GB of SSD that should boost our Netbook, and a nice battery providing a life span of 16 Hours…
Yes, this new X Series seems to be a little expensive (130 000 Yens or 996€), like the Vaio P finally… And, if you need to invest in this new machine, forget about the Low-end models, and go straight to the High-Models to be sure to have something cool……
