Sony Vaio AR Review - InfoSync World
InfoSync World have published a review of the Sony Vaio AR multimedia laptop. 'The Sony Vaio AR is a slick black behemoth of a laptop. Though most devices in this category go by the "Desktop Replacement" moniker, the Vaio AR will replace your desktop, as well as a few components of your home stereo. The glossy black case resisted fingerprints as well as a glossy black case can, but this isn't a machine you'll be handling much, thanks to its girth. Most ports on the device are hidden, and Sony uses a nearly-unbroken, mirrored band to add continuity to the case design.
At 8.4 pounds, the Vaio is a heavy laptop, but we've seen desktop replacements that were almost twice as heavy, so perhaps Sony deserves some credit. Still, the large amount of unused space on the screen and keyboard surfaces bothered us. We wouldn't wish for a larger keyboard, as the Vaio AR's keyboard is plenty roomy. But, there is still a large bezel around the screen that could have been reduced. The trackpad, as well, is tiny, and should have taken more advantage of the available acreage.'
