Daily Tech Deal: Sony VAIO W11

Money saving deals, offers and innovations

5 October 2009 13:00 GMT / By Ben Crompton

Launched back in August, the Vaio W series mini notebook has seen a drop in price from its RRP of £499 down to £339.99 at Play.com - although we previously had its entry price at around the £400 mark.

Sony clearly has the female of the species in mind with this effort, when it states: "carefully designed isolation keyboard with precise key spacing prevents typing errors, even with long fingernails", so anyone used to a Mac or ZX spectrum should be fine.

There are no surprises with the specs, coming with Intel Atom N280 processor, 160GB hard drive and 1GB RAM. It also gets a 10.1-inch, 16:9 widescreen with a 1366 x 768 resolution display and there's also a webcam and mic, b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

If you're in two minds then you could do a lot worse than clicking through on the link below to take a look at our hands-on photos, before following the one to the Play.com website.

  • If you value reliability, good service and your business, I would NOT even touch Sony with a barge pole, hope this saves others from serious down-time when using VAIOs for business. I am absolutely convinced Sony VAIO is designed to fail and a complete rip-off. They should be avoided for their lousy and incompetent customer service, especially in Europe.
    Once it BSODs you have an expensive brick, go with a manufacturer that *tries* to backup their products, it’s a scandal the way Sony handled the GPU problem.
