Product Review: Sony X505 Ultra-Portable
Computer (NewsFactor) 08/03/2004 06:10 PM
NewsFactor - For many road warriors, portability is the No. 1 feature considered when purchasing a new notebook computer. Performance often takes a back seat to weight and form factor, with some of the more popular ultra-portable notebooks released in the last 12 months weighing in between 3 and 4 pounds each.

Sony VAIO M

Sony VAIO M 09/13/2004 09:00 AM

Sony has a new one of those desktop VAIOs designed to replace a TV, this time called the VAIO M. It's not that spectacular, features-wise, with the notable stand-out of a "Multidrive" super-burner that can handle not only DL (dual-layer) DVDs but DVD-RAM as well (if you don't know what that is, you probably don't need to). It has a horrible 32MB video card, though, and the form factor makes it impossible to upgrade - it's basically a laptop in desktop clothing - but that's not what it was designed for anyway. It's a neat form factor, but I don't think I'd ever buy one.

Sony Axes the Vaio U50/U70 09/21/2004 12:27 PM

Handtops is reporting that Sony is pulling the attractive, if niche Sony U50/U70 mini-tablet computer, despite the fact that it was just introduced to the market a few months ago. It was a great device, but I would not be surprised in the least if they weren't selling very well, since they were essentially a $2000 - 3000 toy. A great toy, mind you, but a toy nonetheless.

Sony VAIO U50 Reviewed 07/22/2004 09:43 PM

HandtopHQ review the Sony VAIO U50 mini PC, the little 900MHz computer stuffed into a black, paperback-sized slab. He's a little more positive about it than I was, claiming that anyone who can afford one will probably want to use it as an entertainment device, a function at which it excels. I say that's a cop out argument and the thing is still to expensive to warrant the sort of rough handling a portable media device (full-blown computer or not) is going to get.

Vaio Spring 2005 Desktop Lineup

Vaio Spring 2005 Desktop Lineup 01/05/2005 01:46 PM

Having just talked about the new Vaio laptops, I somehow feel obligated to mention the new Vaio desktops. But are they really new? No.

On the very high end of things is the Vaio type R desktop, with a 3.8 GHz CPU, two 250GB hard drives (intertwined by RAID 0, nonetheless), and 1GB of RAM. It also includes a 20" LCD, which when you think about the 460,000 yen price tag (about $4,400 USD), is entirely understandable.

Working our way down the ranks, through the two other type R models, three type HX models, three type V models, and two type M models, we finally reach the bottom of the pack — the Vaio type M "VGC-M31B/W" has a 15.4" screen, 2.7 GHz CPU, 256MB of RAM, and integrated video (good 'ol SiS), and costs around 160,000 yen (about $1,538 USD).

Sony VAIO T-Series Laptops 09/13/2004 10:57 AM

I think I misjudged when I saw the product release about the new Sony VAIO T Series laptops, because I didn't figure people would be that excited about them, but boy was I wrong, so let me fix that oversight. The best thing about the new Centrino sub-notebooks that I can see is that the 10.6-inch screens use Sony's X-Brite LCD technology, which really is as good as they hype. If the battery life and the keyboard are useable, we might just take one out for a spin. I've yet to run into anything as hot as the Panasonic R3 yet, though, so they've got a tough row to hoe.

ChaitGear has the press release if you're into that whole details thing.

Sony Vaio VGP-UMS50 Mouse 04/12/2005 07:44 AM

With looks strikingly similar to a lopsided Slinky, the Sony Vaio VGP-UMS50 is certainly a mouse for those who prefer neither form nor function. Still, if I can rest my drinks atop its smooth, black surface, I might give it a passing consideration. Available on April 23rd, the AV translation tells us "it fits to the hand, the stylish mouse." They also talk about its ergonomic benefits, so there's that.

Sony VAIO VGN-X505VP Review 06/03/2004 10:20 AM

Trusted Reviews absolutely gushes over the Sony VAIO VGN-X505VP, and really, how can you blame them? The X505VP is Sony's super-slim ultra-portable, just 21mm at its thickest and 11mm at its thinnest ends. With a 1.1GHz Pentium M, 512 MB RAM, a bundle of extra hardware including a multi-format memory card reader, DVD burner, and carrying case, as well as included (but not integrated) 802.11g, there's really not questioning the fact that the X505 is one of the world's most desirable laptops. If I had a spare $3,700 around that I hadn't already allocated for eight balls, the wafer thin mint would already be mine.

Sony HMP-A1 VAIO Video Pocket Review 07/12/2004 10:34 AM

I should warn you: I'm sort of lukewarm on portable video players altogether. I don't commute to work, and when I did, there was enough jostling and train swapping to make anything that required focused attention, like reading books or watching video, a fractured and annoying experience. But still, there is an opportunity for a video player like the HMP-A1 to be useful -- I just don't think this would be the one I would buy.

Included is software that allows you to create, manage, edit, and archive video, music, and images as if you were a professional. If that is not good enough, just about everything on this system has speed controls so that you can take the decibels down a notch with little effort.

Sony VAIO Pocket Review, iPod Comparison 06/09/2004 09:10 AM

If you want to stumble through the Babelfish translation, AV Watch Japan has a review of the Sony VAIO Pocket, the hard disk-based music player that's getting the most buzz as Sony's attempt to create an iPod-killer. Among other things, they compare sizes (!), and really that battery nodule on the back of the VAIO Pocket does it a disservice in pictures -- it's not nearly as big as it seems. Of course, the chink in the VAIO Pocket's armor is its inability to play any format but Sony's proprietary ATRAC3, meaning every song you want to copy to the VAIO Pocket has to be converted. 20GB of conversion is going to be sucky, but manageable; it's really just the principle of the thing (even Apple, head up their AAC, lets the iPod play MP3).

Apex PD-840 8.4 Inch Widescreen DVD
Player 06/15/2004 01:05 PM

Apex has added a nice looking 8.4-inch widescreen DVD player to their lineup, called the PD-840. It plays DVDs, music, all that good stuff, with a projected battery life of 2.5 hours -- not long enough for two movies, but probably just long enough for one. Although portable DVD players are the sort of product that has very limited appeal to me -- if I'm not watching them at home, they I'll probably be watching on a laptop -- I know some people, especially people with kids, get a lot of mileage out of them. My own family has chewed through at least two in the last couple of years keeping my young brother entertained.

Should be available late summer for around for (a too pricey) $325.
