A review of the Sony VAIO VPCY115FX/BI notebook has been posted over at HotHardware. 'It's actually a touch thicker than the ThinkPad Edge, but the whole machine just feels more spacious despite the fact this it's just another 13.3" ultraportable. We do wish that Sony would have added a slot-loading optical drive (or any optical drive) in order to make this machine stand out above the competition, but if you need to insert a CD or DVD you'll have to spring for an external unit. The design is simple and subtle, yet well implemented. The charcoal color covers the machine inside and out, and the slight textures on the palm rest not only jazz things up a bit, but they actually feel great when you're typing on the machine.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the Sony VAIO VPC-Z116GXS ultraportable. 'The Sony Z116GXS's 13.1-inch widescreen is smaller than the 14-inch one found in the Asus UL80Vt-A1 ($823 street, ), but its 1,600-by-900 resolution makes up for this difference. The higher resolution creates a larger workspace on the screen by packing in more pixels, allowing users to compare documents and Websites side-by-side with ease. By comparison, most of the Z116GXS's peers have screens with 1,366-by-768 or 1,280-by-800 resolutions.'

CNET have published a review of the Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold) netbook. 'The Vaio X is the latest, and like Sony's previous Atom-powered high-concept P series, it has only one foot in the Netbook camp. Incredibly thin and light, thanks to a carbon fiber chassis and solid-state hard drive, the 11-inch Vaio X looks like a high-end ultraportable. It's so weightless that several people picked up our review unit and asked if it was a dummy mockup build, instead of a fully functioning PC.The extreme design doesn't seem out of place for $1,499, if the performance could keep up. Instead, the Vaio X uses Intel's 2.0GHz Atom Z550, a small step up from the same Atom CPUs found in $299 Netbooks. Adding 2GB of RAM and Windows 7 helps, and the system is slightly faster than other Atom-powered notebooks we've tested, but Vaio X still offers essentially Netbook-level performance in an extremely expensive package.
