Sony has yet again come up with another launch, the Sony VAIO X ultra-slim laptop, and this has been introduced in India this month. One look at it would surely make one feel for its elegant ultra-slim feature, as it weighs only 655 gms with the body thickness of about only half an inch. No doubt that Sony VAIO X is considered to be the lightest and the slimmest laptop in the world. There are two notebooks included in this- VPCX117LG/B and VPCX113KG/B.

Both the processors possess Intel Virtualization and the Hyper Threading Technology as they both feature the lower power Atom chips. This ultra portable laptop is well-equipped with "Silverthorne" Inter Atom processor and the laptop is preloaded with Windows 7 Professional (32-bit). The Vaio VPCX117LG is equipped with a 2.0GHz Intel Atom Z550 processor and 128GB SSD, whereas the Vaio VPCX113KG will come with a 1.8GHz Intel Atom Z540 'Silverthorne' processor and 64GB SSD.

The pixel resolution of Sony VAIO X is 1366×768 which is well enough to playback 720p HD videos, as Sony VAIO X comes with 11.1-inch LED Back lit display. It is cladded with brushed aluminum panel covering the keyboard and the palm-rest area. The graphical interface is well-looked after as it offers Intel GMA 500 mobile integrated graphics. The notebook has a built-in VGA Webcam for video chats, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, VGA out ports, Ethernet, 2GB RAM. But both of them lack HDMI. The wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g/Draft is embedded in them with connectivity, in shades of black.

The battery life in VPCX113KG is of 3.5 hours, where as in VPCX117LG, it lasts for about 6 hours on a single charge, as VPCX117LG weighs 750 gms. And both the instruments also have the optional battery packs that increment the battery life to 12 hours maximum. The touch pad of the X series has the multi-touch functionality that enable the users to zoom in and zoom out, flip through images, rotate items and scroll both horizontally and vertically without contact with a mouse.

There is one year international warranty on both the products and the prices are Rs.84,990 and Rs.64,990 for VPCX117LG/B and VPCX113KG/B, respectively.
