Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-W11
Hands-On: Sony Vaio-W11 Netbook in Review | Notebookcheck
Latecomer. Netbooks were a no-go topic for Sony for a long time. They did unleash two ultra-mobile mini-notebooks onto the market with the Vaio P11 and P21, but these discerned themselves strongly from the mainstream-netbooks already because of their comparatively high price. The good sales figures of many other manufacturers will have probably let Sony change their mind in the meantime. We present: The Sony Vaio W11 with a 10.1" display (1366x768) and an Intel Atom N280 CPU.

Third dimension. Sony implements its Bravia 3D technology in a notebook. Because of the decent viewing angels the picture you see through active shutter glasses is even good along the horizontal plane. Is this sufficient to justify the high list price of 1.999 euro? Sony invited to Munich on 23rd of March and introduced its new F-model.

Sony VAIO W Series review
Source: Techradar
Sony finally enters the netbook race. The first proper effort at a netbook from Sony, the new VAIO W series, comes a long, long while after everyone else has already delivered their versions, comes in a bit pricier (as expected I suppose) but better designed (again, as expected). So it's beautifully designed, with a great screen, but over-priced and under-specced for the cash. So, in short it's exactly what you would expect from a Sony laptop. It also comes in white and pink if you feel you have to have a Sony if you're going to have a netbook.

Sony Vaio W Series
Source: PC World
I'm glad to see Sony delivering a true netbook-class machine, but this model doesn't bring the price down enough considering what's included in its $500 asking price. And while the keyboard isn't quite as picayune as that of the P Series, it isn't perfect (if your hand ranges from adult male goon, like yours truly's to Yao Ming-size, don't bother with the Vaio W). If you're looking for a final score on the Vaio W, stay tuned. We'll update this review--and our conclusions--once it finishes all of our tests.

Sony Vaio W
Source: Tech2.in.com
The Sony Vaio W scores mainly on its stylish looks, rich feature set and build quality. While its hardware configuration is similar to most netbooks, there are a few things that set this one apart. Unlike a plain Jane netbook, this one is quite an eye candy. The entire body follows a metallic color theme. Though the performance doesn't really set this one apart, the style factor would be the biggest USP for the Sony Vaio W. Available for Rs. 29,990.

Sony VAIO W Series netbook full review
Source: T3
Sony has priced the W Series at £399 - low enough to keep it in netbook territory but clearly at the high end of the scale. Is it worth it? Sony’s attention to design and build quality is certainly in evidence, the X-black screen and superb keyboard going some way to setting the W Series apart from the crowd. Even so, we can’t escape the niggling feeling that Sony isn’t showing us how netbooks should be done, rather that they can be done with the VAIO brand.

Sony VAIO W
Source: Computer Shopper
Sony's highly anticipated entry into the netbook market doesn't bring with it any real surprises or advances. But it does pack a uniquely Sony design and a superb high-resolution screen that make it a welcome entry into the crowded netbook market. Sony's first real netbook isn't revolutionary, but its superb screen and stylish design make it a worthy contender, so long as you don't need lengthy battery life.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games). These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
N280:
Power efficient, cheap and slow Netbook single core CPU. Because of the in-order execution, the performance per MHz is worse than Core Solo or Celeron M processors. Compared to the N270, the N280 is only minimally higher clocked and offers a higher FSB.
10.1":
This is a typical display size for tablets and small convertibles.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
1.2 kg:
This weight is typical for big tablets, small subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles with a 10-11 inch display-diagonal.
Sony: Sony Corporation is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Japan. Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. Its name is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound. The company was founded 1946 with another name and renamed in 1958. Sony Corporation is the electronics business unit and the parent company of the Sony Group, which is engaged in business through its five operating segments—electronics, games, entertainment (motion pictures and music), financial services and other. Sony is a notebook manufacturer of medium size according international market shares.
From 2014, Sony has reduced the production of Vaio laptops and finally discontinued them. Sony is still present in the smartphone and tablet market, yet not among the Top 5 manufacturers.
80.33%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.
