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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

SorobanGeeks' Akihabara News team has pictures and video (set inexplicably, if pleasantly, to the Beatles' "Back in the USSR") of Sony's new VAIO R Series Media Center PC, the one with the fancified liquid cooling system (with a gapped-case air intake on the side). While it's probably out of the price range of most DIYers (although it's not too painful, at around $2,400), there's no denying the VAIO R, with its plethera of ports and black slab styling makes for an impressive looking tiny god.

The new VAIO PC is both powerful and quiet. With plenty of expansion room and an amazing liquid heat-pipe cooling system, this computer is sure to turn some heads. 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 U50 Review: Awful Laptop,

It catches eyes, that's for sure. I had forgotten to load the Sony VAIO U50 with any software before our flight home to Kansas City for the weekend, but since an unexpected storm front was blowing in from the north, we had almost two hours to kill while our plane sat, stranded on the tarmac of LaGuardia. Even scrolling through empty file systems was better than the airline magazine.

"Excuse me," said the man sitting next to me, and I turned too fast to respond, because I knew he had been staring. "What exactly is that thing, and can you play Spider Solitaire on it?"
