Sony builds pretty notebooks, and also the VAIO NW series is no exception. The textured plastic enclosure looks fabulous in silver, and it resists fingerprints far much better than the glossy finishes that have turn out to be so frequent. While it is exciting to see a Blu-ray drive in the notebook at this price point, it is unfortunate the battery doesn’t have adequate juice to finish a feature-length movie.
After the buzz with Sony VAIO P Sequence,
Sony has come up with another new notebook sequence. The VAIO NW Line, is a collection that push the “Gracefully thin” towards the edge of their marketing. According to Sony the NW series are designed to be ‘gracefully thin’, they measure in at 1.Two inches thick. The thickness of just 1.2-inch, it ought to be ready for the thin Laptop competition, together with Macbook Air. Using a thickness of 1.2-inches, Sony VAIO NW is definitely not as thin as Sony's thinnest laptop, VAIO X Collection, but it's fairly thin for an entry level, full-fledged notebook.
The first thing you’ll notice about the 14.6 x 9.8 x 1.2-inch, Walnut Brown VAIO NW is the cool faux-wood design on the lid, which extends towards base on the process. If you are not keen on this look, Sony also presents the system in Birch White and Silver Rattan. Owing to the NW’s “waved body” pattern, the keyboard resides inside a slight depression, but it didn’t negatively impact our typing.
Apart from the Rosy Brown, Sony VAIO NW is also accessible in Shimmering White and Black. The textured, wavy plastic lid and base resists fingerprints greater than the glossy finishes that other Sony laptops have. But other issue arises. The textured surface traps dusts and specks much extra very easily than the glossy surfaces. So you would have to clean and wipe off the dusts generally, which is somewhat “hard work” for me, maybe for you too.
The contours from the VAIO NW are soft as well as the footprint is smaller compared to other models with the same display size, creating this notebook computer compact and uncomplicated to carry. Initially accessible in two shades, silver and brown, the tone is gentle and harmonious using the home environment. Extra colours like white will turn out to be obtainable in fall.
Above and to the right with the keyboard are a row of buttons that let us launch the Splashtop instant-on browser (which allows users access on the Web when avoiding Vista’s lengthy boot times), mute the speakers, and turn the display off (for when you’re employing the notebook only to listen to music, for example). We would have liked to view dedicated volume controls, but it is simple sufficient to adjust with function keys. At 5.6 pounds, the VAIO NW isn’t a program you’ll want to constantly keep in tow, but it’s certainly light plenty of to quickly move from room to room.
Equally important to its style in relation to our surroundings is its eco-friendliness. It meets the latest industry power efficiency standard, Energy STAR® 5.0, and its construction is carefully thought through to retain the amount of waste low by applying both recycled and recyclable material within the body and packaging. The VAIO NW11-series has an impressive storage capacity of up to 500GB, generating it ideal for multimedia, and has 4GB memory, allowing rapid file access and effortless multi-tasking. Its 15.5” true 16:9 widescreen is stunning with Sony’s X-black LCD, which delivers vibrant colors and crystal sharp details.
There’s a lot more peace of mind that the VAIO NW notebook provides. When you want to watch or share content on a large HDTV display, it has an HDMI™ output so that you are able to very easily connect on the TV with a single cable that delivers both video and audio signals. This function makes your life easier and all the more fun particularly when enjoying HD content, whether it is your HD residence videos, HD photo slideshows or watching Blu-ray Disc™ movies (model VGN-NW11Z).
