Sony VAIO VPCM12M1E/P notebook

 

Bring a touch of pink to your netbook

Eye-catching looks and decent performance

Sony M12M1E review

 

With a smooth white lid and embossed VAIO logo, there's no mistaking the M12M1E for a Sony product. The sleek curves and subtle design cues make it stand out against most other netbooks.

Sony is just first class in almost everything. This netbook is fantastic - stylish, light, powerful and extremely well put together. The keyboard ( importantly) isnt too small, so typing is almost as natural as a normal full size! No complaints...
