Reviews of the Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold)

    CNET Review

    November 2, 2009

    The Good: Amazingly thin and light; great battery life with extended battery; faster than other Netbooks; big 128GB solid-state hard drive.

    The Bad: Underpowered for such an expensive system; default battery is short-lived.

    The Bottom Line: Sony's bold experiment--a high-end luxury system with essentially Netbook components--makes an enviable coffee shop conversation piece, but one that includes some serious sticker shock.
