Pricewise the Sony Vaio S is expected to start from $1000, with various processor options ranging from i3 to i7. Storage options will also include a 1TB option and SSD. The Blu-Ray reader can be upgraded to a Blu-Ray writer. Costwise the Sony Vaio S Series starts at a $100 premium on the Vaio SB, and for us, well worth the extra cash.

The Sony VAIO VPC-SA2FGX/BI is a fully loaded ultraportable in terms of processing components and features. It's equipped to handle the toughest tasks you may face, but you should note its caveats: Fan noise and heat do come into play if this machine is pushed too hard, and the standard battery alone might not survive a long trip. This is a fine ultraportable regardless, but your money would be better spent on the Acer Aspire AS3830TG-6431 or Toshiba Portege R835-P50X.

13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.6 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
