Sony NEX-F3 Review

 

With the release of the Sony NEX-F3 camera, Sony Electronics is basically refreshing its entry-level compact and interchangeable camera offering. The overall goal of the release is to offer the latest software updates in terms of effects and image...

In the end, the largest added-value of this camera is its ease of use, image quality, the “Superior” auto-mode (Sony’s own feature name) and the ability to charge and sync with Micro-USB. If you have checked the photos and videos that I have posted on...

Review Sony Vaio SVT1311M1ES Ultrabook

 

Hybrid book. Sony sends an ultrabook into the ring called SVT1311M1ES. An aluminum case and Intel Core i3 processor are to lure customers. A special highlight is the hybrid hard disk. It fuses the size of a conventional HDD with the speed of an SSD....

Boots extremely fast ; Good battery life ; Very good workmanship ; High-end materials ; USB 3.0, VGA and HDMI ; Fair price ; Removable battery

Display lacks stability of contenders ; Mediocre screen rates (brightness, contrast) ; Keyboard needs familiarization ; Touchpad is sometimes sluggish (pre-series model)

That there are only few other ultrabooks with Sony Vaio SVT1311M1ES's connectivity

PS Vita Review

 

PS Vita Review - The PS Vita is a excellent mobile gaming machine, not because its hardware is very fast, not because it has a great screen, but because it can provide a gaming experience that no other device on the market can.

There is no doubt that many of you already have a smartphone, and if you are content with the gaming experience on Android, Windows Phone or iOS, it’s great, and maybe there’s no reason for you to get the PS Vita at all. In fact, if you’re wondering...

Sony Tablet S Review

 

Sony made a debut in the flourishing tablet market with two distinctly designed devices – Tablet S and the Tablet P. The Tablet S sports a stylish and sophisticated look, while the Tablet P turns heads over its dual screen, clutch form factor. We've...

The Sony Tablet S is a very good first attempt by Sony. There are however, a few issues. Priced at an MRP of Rs.29,990, it's almost the same as the cheapest iPad 2. There's a good amount of firepower. Except for a few complaints - primarily not being...

Review Sony Vaio VPC-SB2L1E/W Subnotebook

 

Student snack. Punctually for the summer business Sony has refreshed the Vaio palette and now offers the VPC-SB2L1E/W as an affordable subnotebook with an Intel Core i3-2310M CPU, AMD Radeon HD 6470M On/Off graphics, and a matte 13.3 inch display,...

High quality look and feel; Light weight; Generous keyboard with backlight; Matte display; Good application performance; Entry level 3D performance; Docking + battery slice port; Emissions in an idle state; Acceptable battery life

Weaknesses in the stability; Mouse buttons with a short travel; Average display quality; Only manual graphics switching; CPU throttling during stress test; Emissions under load

Furthermore the high temperatures and system noise under load, as well as the partially covered air vent for the cooling system. We hope for a considerable case update for the Vaio VPC-SB3 series

Review Sony Vaio VPC-CA1S1E Notebook

 

Beacon buoy. "Envious" looks will be a sure thing with the CA ran ...

Solid build ; Autonomously luminescent surfaces ; Striking material combination ; Quiet & cool ; High application performance ; Good input devices ; Viable battery life ; USB 3.0 & 1.3 MP webcam

Few interfaces ; Intensely reflective display ; Low contrasts & viewing angles ; Only for undemanding 3D games

Sony has the fan management under control. The temperature stays low and the easygoing fan doesn't overdo it with noise

Review Sony Vaio VPC-EB3E4E/WI Notebook

 

Stylish typing. Low prices may not allow for luxury hardware, but ...

Stable case ; Keyboard with good feedback ; Fast touchpad ; Quiet and cool ; Comparatively many interfaces ; Fast hard drive

Unfavorable location of ports ; Short battery life ; TFT is reflective ; Weak contrasts and viewing angles

A keyboard with firmly supported keys, that have a hard end stop and a crisp pressure point, in an affordable Vaio 15 inch notebook. The keys even have a concave shape to improve typing accuracy

Review Sony Vaio VPC-EB4X1E/BQ (FHD) Notebook

 

FullHD Update. In November 2010, an elegant notebook with plastic ...

FullHD resolution; Stable horizontal viewing angles; BluRay player; Good contrasts & sRGB; Good keyboard; Matt work environment; Many interfaces; Low waste heat

Interface positioning; Touchpad imprecise; Short battery life; Limited 3D performance; TFT not AR treated; Loud under extreme load

The courage to leave the wrist-rest uncoated, unpolished and without aluminum applications. This doesn't emit a sense of luxury, but has a certain amount of retro-charm

Review Sony Vaio VPC-YA1V9E/B (11.6") Subnotebook

 

Vaio in the land of the dwarfs. A mini-Vaio for everyone. The Va ...

Stable case ; Good pressure points on the keyboard ; Good TFT-brightness ; Usable battery life ; Low current consumption ; Always cool ; Low volume

Keys slightly too mall and spongy ; Loud mouse keys ; TFT is reflective ; Small viewing angles ; Limited application performance

Is often priced much lower, but with AMD-CPUs in place, aren't always on par in terms of performance

Review Sony Vaio VPC-S13X9E Subnotebook

 

Mobile Office. Handy, mobile and good performance. Sony's 13.3 in ...

Cool and quiet ; Good application performance ; Light and stable ; Good battery life ; Keyboard with good feedback ; FireWire & ExpressCard ; Docking Port ; 3G module installed

TFT not AR coated ; Brightness is throttled in battery mode ; Narrow viewing angles ; Low contrast ; Battery need a long time to recharge

Why does Sony use a glare type screen in this kind of mobile subnotebook? It can't even be due to the colors because they are extremely bad (contrast & color spectrum)
