Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold)

Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold)

??

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

??

The good: Amazingly thin and light; great battery life with extended battery; faster than other Netbooks; big 128GB solid-state hard drive.

??

The bad: Underpowered for such an expensive system; default battery is short-lived.

The bottom line: Sony's bold experiment--a high-end luxury system with essentially Netbook components--makes an enviable coffee shop conversation piece, but one that includes some serious sticker shock.
