TOKYO—Sony Corp. said Wednesday it is recalling about 535,000 Vaio laptops world-wide due to a temperature-control defect that may cause excessive heat and distort the shape of the laptop. There is also the possibility that overheated laptops could cause skin burns, even though no such cases have been reported thus far, the Japanese electronics and [...]
Sure, it gets a new matte lid that’s available in five different shades, but Sony has also updated the 1.3-pound P Series with an optical touchpad and accelerometer. The former is built into the LCD bezel and, as the picture above shows, is all about navigating the desktop by just holding the screen – the [...]
In a day of $300 netbooks and $500 tablets, it sure is mystifying to see Sony still pushing a secondary, $700+ Atom-powered device. That’s right, Sony hasn’t given up on its 8-inch VAIO P Series, and has updated the 1.3-pound mini-laptop with a slightly different design, a faster Atom Z560 processor, touchpad, and last but not [...]
HD movies and accomplished innards round off a tidy package. We’re always a bit sceptical when companies release products that are clearly designed to sit in the ‘quirky’ and ‘fun’ market gap.

Sony has given up on its 18.4-inch media center—the AW series—as demand for it has weakened and customers are having a tough time find room such a colossal laptop. But a successor has already been chosen: the Sony VAIO VPC-F1190X ($1,645 direct). This laptop isn’t nearly as large as its predecessor, but it’s just as [...]
Well, what do we have here? It’s the Sony Vaio M series netbook, as yet unannounced but sitting here getting detailed… all the same…. The 10.1-inch netbook, which looks, well, pretty much identical to the Sony Vaio W series, is apparently going to boast a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU, 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM, a [...]
The Sony VAIO EB12FX/T is an affordable all-purpose notebook that impresses with its style, features, and affordable price–but it is also marred by mediocre performance.
