London, Jan 02 (PRINTWORDS NEWS) – 
What do you think is the definition that sums up our popular agent 007, commonly known as James Bond? He is suave, cool, has a magnetic personality and yes- he makes the women go weak in their knees. The gizmos and gadgets he uses can turn any geek green with envy. Have you ever wondered if you could get your hands on a sleek and hot gadget like the ones he uses? Now you can, courtesy the Sony VAIO X series laptops.
The craze for slim laptops started with the Apple Macbook. Dell was quick to follow suit with its Adamo and other companies also felt the need to make laptops look jazzier and svelte. However, these efforts did not succeed due to factors like exorbitant pricing and lack of upgradability. Sony seems to have hit the sweet spot with its VAIO X series of laptops. It suits the jet set lifestyle of corporate users who are tired of the drab looking notebooks and want a lighter alternative that does not suffer on performance front.
The moment you pop the VAIO X out of your bag it is sure to turn some heads. It is barely 0.55 inch thick and the brushed-aluminum body screams style from every square inch. As an alternative, you can opt for the black model that looks equally cool. At 1.6 pounds it is lighter than many netbooks. The 11.1 inch screen is sharp and bright. Sony offers an additional battery with the model along with the standard battery. It gives marginally better performance than regular netbooks. The Intel Atom Z550 CPU gets a speed boost from 128GB SSD and 2 GB memory. However, do not expect it to run latest 3D games and it is not meant for gaming either.
The HD video buffs will like it a lot. Playing 720p HD content is a breeze on this laptop. You will not see any frame drop and stutter at all. The multi gesture touhpad is a welcome addition and so is the webcam. It is amazing that in its tiny figure Sony has managed to pack in the regular ports. As expected, no optical drive is provided. Overall, it gives the Windows users a suitable alternative to Macbook Air, though performance seekers will be a tad disappointed.
