Sony was late to the netbook party, slapping down the Vaio W Series earlier this summer after initially slating the micro–laptops and rolling out a super–expensive, high–end version, the Vaio P, instead. So does the Vaio name mean this is a netbook wor...

It has taken Sony a long time to release its first netbook and the result is the VAIO VPC-W11S1E/W (£399 inc. VAT). The standout feature is its 10.1-inch screen. The 1366 x 768-pixel resolution is the sharpest we’ve seen on a panel of this size. Image...

The good-looking Sony Vaio W is very well-designed. But it's just like any other netbook available today, in terms of internal hardware and performance. And it comes with poor battery life in comparison. Jayesh Shindle Lowest online price: £344.9...

The Sony VAIO W (VPCW115XGP) is reasonably expensive but it's one of the best looking netbooks on the market, and it's reasonably comfortable to use. It has a keyboard with isolated keys, a large touchpad and a vibrant screen, as well as a lovely two-tone colour scheme. But it's also an underdone netbook, and its $999 price tag is excessive. For this price you'd expect at least three USB 2.0 ports, 2GB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, a 6-cell battery and even a solid-state drive. Instead, you get...
