I can\u2019t convey how light it is. It seems to defy logic. My brain doesn\u2019t understand that it\u2019s seeing my hand hold up an 11.1-inch notebook that weighs less than half of what most other notebooks its size weigh.<\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a super powerful computer. No sir. But Sony\u2019s managed to stuff a nimble 2GHz Atom CPU (Z550) under the carbon fiber hood. It\u2019s not cheap either, starting at $1299. If you can mentally get past the whole $1300 netbook thing, you get a nice array of features \u2013 solid state drive, GPS, Bluetooth, Verizon 3G, Wi-Fi, 2GB of RAM, standard 3-hour battery and an unbelievably lengthy 12+ hour battery that doesn\u2019t seem to add much weight at all. Perhaps best of all is that unless you&#8217;re doing some relatively aggressive multitasking, using this computer doesn&#8217;t\u00a0<em>feel<\/em> much like using a netbook at all.<\/p>\n<p>The screen is an 11.1-inch LED backlit affair at 1366&#215;768, there\u2019s a tiny but relatively functional island keyboard, multitouch trackpad (it\u2019s too small to effectively use the multitouch features), webcam, Windows 7 Home Premium, Ethernet, memory card reader, VGA out, and two USB ports. And again, it\u2019s unbelievably light.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be putting the machine through its paces and will have a full review up shortly.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"X Series - Sony - SonyStyle USA\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sonystyle.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&amp;storeId=10151&amp;langId=-1&amp;categoryId=8198552921644667494&amp;N=4294954366&amp;XID=O:sony%20x:dg_nb_gglsrch\">X Series<\/a> [SonyStyle.com]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/tDKQOn5HOrz3wJQ5cwZuRGUuBpY\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/cd592_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/tDKQOn5HOrz3wJQ5cwZuRGUuBpY\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/59ebf_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=fXfSowXS3Dw:0jTexQ8NaCI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/59ebf_crunchgear?i=fXfSowXS3Dw:0jTexQ8NaCI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=fXfSowXS3Dw:0jTexQ8NaCI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/59ebf_crunchgear?i=fXfSowXS3Dw:0jTexQ8NaCI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=fXfSowXS3Dw:0jTexQ8NaCI:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/59ebf_crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchgear.com\/2009\/12\/28\/quick-look-sony-vaio-x-series-notebook\/\" >Read Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1.5-pound, half-inch thick Sony VAIO X Series notebook is easily one of the most impressive portable computers I\u2019ve seen in quite some time.
