Sony touts the VAIO X as the worlds lightest notebook, and at 1.4 pounds (with the four-cell battery), it is; even the Viliv S7 Premium, which has a similar processor but a smaller 7.0-inch screen, weighs 1.8 pounds. When you put the extended battery on the VAIO X, the weight2.2 poundsis still more than half a pound lighter than most 10-inch netbooks. Measuring 11.0 x 7.3 x 0.6 inches (without the extended battery), the VAIO X rivals the MacBook Air in terms of thickness; however, its footprint is similar to other netbooks with the same screen size. When the extended battery is attached (by means of two screws that give the underside a quasi-steampunk feel), the back of the system is raised up by about 0.3 inches, and slants towards the user. The battery also doesnt lie flush with the underside of the system; its designed with gaps in it to aid in the cooling of the netbook.Moving on to inspect other build aspects of the notebook, we found that the screen quality was great with decent viewing angles and brightness. You'll find that despite the higher resolution (1366x768), the fonts were still pretty crisp and clear. Heading downwards, we find a familiar looking keyboard that's...more
