SONY VAIO Pocket Style PC “P series” review

Paul Merak — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:28:20 +0000

Few months back, we did the unboxing of the VAIO P. However, since then, we did not ever published its full review. We have criticized VAIO P heavily (see THIS), but we need to understand one fact that is VAIO P is a crop of its own.Anyway, been using VAIO P from past few months, I am now fully aware of its pros and cons. Now, how is the immediate out of box experience. To be honest, you immediately feel its slowness as soon as you take it out of the box. It took it 30 minutes to take me to the desktop! Then, even after the desktop was loaded, it was very slow.Click on read more to read the complete review!

Keeping all of them charged is a difficult task as I would have to carry a lot chargers. The tiny U2o Universal emergency battery is there to rescue.Read the review of this great little accessory!

Paul Merak — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:22:20 +0000

The HTC DIAMOND does not win any awards for its battery life. Let’s face it, even with average use, you won’t be able to last a full day with the stock battery, which has just 900mAh juice. HTC chose style over function on this device and I support their decision. Here is a picture of [...]
