Finding a good laptop is not easy. There are too many variables. Hardware has to be good. And when we talk of hardware, there are processors, RAM, screen, hard disk, keyboard and tens of other components. Even if one or two of them are not right, the experience tends to be poor. Then, there is software, especially the applications that are bundled with a laptop. Right applications make the experience so much better while the wrong ones frustrate a user.
Picking any kind of laptop is tricky. But the problem is particularly acute when you are trying to buy a machine with which you can travel.
Laptop companies, which do a poor job of explaining a laptop and its features to a user, only add to the problem. This is one of the reasons why many people nowadays just pick an Apple MacBook Air when they want a lightweight laptop. Air is a good machine. It has impeccable build quality and good hardware. And Apple promises that MacBooks "just work".
Unfortunately, not everyone likes to use or can use OS X, the operating system that powers Apple laptops. There are people who are more comfortable with Windows. Or maybe they need Windows because their company uses software that only runs on Windows.
Sony Vaio Pro is a laptop made for such people. It is a Windows laptop that aims to be at least as good as MacBook Air. After using it for a while, we think it mostly succeeds, even though there are a couple of issues that holds it back from being a home run.
Ultra light, incredibly thin, superb hardware
Vaio Pro comes in two sizes. One model has an 11.6-inch screen while the other one sports a 13.3-inch display. We tested the model with 13.3-inch screen.
Vaio Pro is incredibly thin and light. You notice this as soon as you take out the laptop from the box. The bigger Vaio Pro weighs just 1 kg. This is totally amazing! The smaller one with 11.6-inch screen is lighter than 800 grams. Both machines are lighter than a MacBook Air with comparable screen size. With a thickness of just 0.68 inches, it is also very slim and easily slips into a backpack or a laptop bag you may be carrying on your travel. Read more..
