Review Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/R Mini-Notebook

 

Don't call it a netbook!" Sony launches a "PC system" of a speci

Optically very chic; Various colors to choose from; Good workmanship; Very compact and handy; Extensive communication features; Display with a very high resolution; Quiet use

Weak performance; Money for value ratio; Right shift key too small; Fluctuating display illumination

We wouldn't see the huge netbook category as direct competition for the Sony VGN-P11Z, especially because the ultra-compact PC plays price-wise in a completely different league. It competes more with high quality subnotebooks being short of 1000.00...

Sony VAIO P11Z/R review

 

Sony's ultraportable Vaio P is not big and it's not clever

Very compact

Ridiculously overpriced ; Feeble performance ; Mediocre battery life

Confirmation, not that it was needed, that Vista plus Atom equals end user misery

Sony VAIO VGN-P11Z/W review

 

There may be a Netbook processor in place, but this is a fully fledged ultraportable

High-resolution screen ; Only 625g

Slightly underpowered ; Lack of ports

One of the smallest and portable laptops we have seen, just dont expect it to play the latest games

Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/W notebook

 

The boom in netbooks over the past year has seen nearly every laptop manufacturer release at least one model, with Sony and Apple the two noteable exceptions. Instead, Sony has produced the P-series - a netbook-sized, Intel Atom powered, highly...

Incredible size, impressive keyboard, high resolution screen

Hugely pricey, budget components

The P-series is a truly unique device, offering the ultimate in portability, but whether that’s enough is difficult to say. For a start, the combination of Windows Vista and a single-core 1.33GHz processor is a poor choice, and the little Sony simply...

Sony Vaio P11Z/R review

 

Sony has a reputation for designing novel little gadgets, and the P-Series is unlike any other laptop we've seen recently.

Sony Vaio P VGN-P11Z/R review

 

The P11Z/R is unlike any other netbook here. It's a desirable piece of kit, but it's still hard to recommend. You're paying a huge premium for the diminutive size and weight. For the same price, you could buy two Samsung N120s, which are larger and...

Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z

 

I like the size of the machine and the fact that it should be able to do most thing a full size machine will do

The hard drive is too small as I have only loaded the basic windows programmes on it (no games) and the hard drive has already used 45GB of space. The ram is too low and the PC struggles to run some of the basic programmes. I would question if 2GB of...

Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z

 

Excellent for travelling - especially as you can often only take 5kg hand luggage.. Lovely design, great screen.

Upgradeability poor - not worth paying full price - battery life poor

Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z

 

Small and light, good to carry, really good to type.

Don't play HD movies, and the video card is really bad.
