Sony VAIO X Series VPCX131KX
$1,249.00
Released June, 2010
The Pros:Display is bright and vivid - LED backlighting provides remarkably clear visibility for pictures and video. Extremely lightweight - ideal for users who are travel frequently and only require access to basic computing functions (internet, word processing, etc.). Isolated keyboard is sleek and responsive - incorporates the spring, natural feel of many higher-end laptop keypads.
The Cons:Battery options are not ideal - smaller option lasts only ~2.5 hours, larger option is bulky and adds considerable unit weight. Windows 7 OS is slow upon initial use - many users will be required to disable/uninstall bloatware applications to access sufficient operations speeds. Seemingly overpriced for the feature set - similar ultraportable models from Asus and Lenovo are available for a fraction of the price.
