Sony VAIO W Series VPCW211AX
$450.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Battery goes a long time between recharges. Track pad is a good size, sensitivity is set comfortably by default. Raised keys are easy and comfortable to type on.
The Cons:Large battery is heavy and bulky. Ships with Windows 7 starter, which is restricted in arbitrary ways such as preventing the desktop background from changing. Under-powered for anything other than web surfing and light-duty word processing.
The Sony VAIO W Series VPCW211AX mid-range notebook that does not include any sort of optical drive (CD or DVD reader). The device is intended for portable use and for standard computer functions like using the internet, office programs, and some media capabilities; this is not mean to serve as a games system and will have trouble running most games.
