People familiar with the notebook market will be aware in today's market a stylish appearance, lightweight portable notebook products are not uncommon. However, most of these claims are "the most thin and light", "smallest", "most fashionable" do not escape "notebook computer" concept. Sometimes we feelings no matter how new of those brand, only reduced its size on the essence and in fact it's not much new. This may also result in the current market the homogeneity of the thin and light class notebook product is very serious.
However, as we said, Sony VPCP118JC have fashion design, rectangular size is about 245mm * 19.8mm * 120mm , demonstrated the unique charm of its innate. This series of products have five colors to choose from, "old-fashioned" black models, as well as orange, white, pink, green and black. For the new VAIO P series, the color is the biggest highlight. The overall weight only 632g.
Front end is the Sony Memory Stick slot and SD card reader. For ordinary users this definitely is a big and good news. Judging from the left side interface, where basically the same as the previous generation models, with only the power, USB and headphone jack. The difference is that the new Sony VPCP118JC moved wireless network to here, more in keeping with our daily habits. On the right is the dock and another USB 2.0 interfaces.
The keyboard of this Sony VPCP118JC still used the previous design the suspension of Sony logo, and in the advantages of cleaning is also very prominent. While the keyboard uses a standard 82-bit key full-size design, but because each key have been ruthlessly compressed a lot, so we are not very satisfied with the actual operation, this is an objective reality. So, I do not recommend using this Sony VPCP118JC to work for long time text entry. Three special function keys are ASSIST shortcut keys used to start the VAIO Care software, switch button used to adjust the resolution, Internet WEB button when Windows closed.
From the specifications the screen of this Sony VPCP118JC used 8 inch UWXGA screen, showing a ratio of 16:7.68, a resolution of 1600 768. How can we easily see the text on the desktop has become a problem. However, this notebook has the perfect solution for you. We see that on the bottom edge of the keyboard, Sony designed a resolution switch button. Long as you press this button, the screen resolution will be switch between 1600 * 768/1280 * 600, which greatly facilitates the elderly to use. Addition, VPCP118JC is also equipped with a camera software.
The software have rich features on captures images, video, monitoring, entertainment is very high. You could use it continuous to watch a World Cup match, the actual time is more than two hours of continuous use, Temperature will significantly enhance very fast.
