Sony Vaio X in Pink

Girls out there, rejoice! Sony is now offering a pink version for its Vaio X mini-notebook. You get the standard options to get one with either Atom Z530 or Z550 processor, 64GB/128GB SSD, WiMax and GPS radio. It is also possible to get with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional.

Cedar Trail to be fanless

Chances are that the next-gen Intel Atom CPU, codenamed Cedar Trail will be fanless. The TDP of this upcoming CPU is estimated to be around 5W, which makes sense to make the whole netbook fanless. No fan = more power left for CPU and other components under the bonnet.

Note that this is not the first time we are going to be endowed with fanless mobile CPUs. Many of the Atom-based Sony Vaio netbooks do not have fan inside. This include Sony Vaio P and Sony Vaio X, both of which use the extremely power-sipping Atom Z-series CPU.

Sony Vaio TT – rise of the dead – VGN-TT53FB and VGN-TT33FB

For those who keep themselves in-on with the technology know that Sony Vaio TT was discontinued last year. Sony Vaio X was touted as its replacement. But, it is not a hidden truth that Atom is weaker than CULV processors in terms of performance. Also, the Sony Vaio X lacked an optical drive, which the TT had.

Anyway, back to the topic, Vaio TT has been re-introduced in Japan. Two models – VGN-TT53FB and VGN-TT33FB have been launched in Japan.

The TT53 is powered by Core2 Duo SU9400 CULV processor (1.4GHz) whereas the TT33FB uses Celeron SU2300 that runs at 1.2GHz clock speed. The TT53 and TT33 have 4GB RAM and 2GB RAM respectively, expandable to 8GB in both cases.

The TT53 has 250GB for storage while the TT33 has 160GB HDD. Both run Windows 7 Home Premium OS. These 11.6-inchers have 1366×768 which is same as the Vaio TT that we saw disappearing from Sony’s website last year.

SONY VAIO X gets Mac OS X treatment!

Is there a netbook in the world which has NOT been turned into a Hackintosh? The “slim and elegant” VAIO X from SONY, has finally been Hackintosh-ed! Asama, used his VAIO P’s Mac OS X image on his VAIO X and voila, it worked! As expected, the WiFi did not work. Unfortunately, that cannot be replaced as everything is soldered to its logicboard. For sure, the VAIO X has come complex stuff going under its bonnet, thus making it very tough for the modders to mod this little machine

SONY VAIO X although got mixed expressions in our review and we were not very impressed with its performance and it pinches us that a $1000+ machine gives unsatisfactory performance, but then, at the same time, it is very exciting to see a non-Macbook machine running Mac OS X operating system.

VAIO X more complex than Macbook Air

We all knew that SONY did some serious engineering behind the scenes to make the VAIO X (review here) so slim and still somehow kept the overall feature-set attractive. However, that did not stop few tech geeks from Japan to take apart the whole unit. They came to a conclusion that VAIO X is, infact, harder to assemble than the Apple’s Macbook Air which happens to be its direct contender.

“By the way, it would be very difficult to come up with the assembly sequence for the Vaio X,” an engineer said. “Are the components mounted all at once after connecting them with one another? There must be a correct procedure, but it must be very difficult. That’s why Sony manufactures the PC at a plant in Japan.”

SONY VAIO X REVIEW

Sony Vaio X Limited edition Ladies Sleeve and Pouch is on sale in Japan. Both costing 12,000 yen ($132), this is certainly not an affordable accessory, but then VAIO X is not that affordable either!

Sony, how about some sleeves and pouches for men?
