Sony Vaio S Series Review, Specs and Price

Sony Vaio S Series

 
Before we get to the meat of the review, first a word about naming conventions. The actual laptop we're reviewing is technically the Sony VAIO VPCSB190X CTO (CTO = Configure To Order), but it's part of the VAIO S line and so we'll simply call it the Sony Vaio S Series. Called the Sony Vaio S Series, the system sports a 13.3-inch 1366 x 768 or 1600 x 900 LED-backlight display, an Intel Core i5-2410M/2520M or Core i7-2620M processor, an AMD Radeon HD 6470M 512MB or AMD Radeon HD6630M 1GB graphics card, up to 8GB DDR3 RAM, up to 640GB HDD or 512GB/1TB SSD, an HD webcam a DVD or Blu-ray drive, an SD card slot, WiFi, Bluetooth, a USB 3.0 port, an HDMI port and runs on Windows 7 OS.

In addition, The Sony Vaio S Series laptop is boasting a battery life of 15 hours but that is of course only when you partner it with a sheet battery - and with SSD configurations. The new SA Series comes encased in a magnesium-and-aluminum alloy and comes in burnished brown, jet black or platinum silver. Price starts at $999.99.
