Sony VAIO X Uncovered | Specs, Pictures and Prices
Brandon Davenport
Sony in the past have made some beautiful desktops and laptops. Their premium (sometimes overpriced) products show us that beauty and functionality come hand in hand.
A little cheaper than a MacBook, but you get a whole lot of looks.

A wireless on/off slider switch sits above the keyboard. The Sony representative on the stand told us that the battery life of the notebook would be a "working day" while different battery variants will be available apparently.
The bottom front of the unit has a SD slot and a MemoryStick reader. The side has two USB ports and a headphone jack, but lacks a HDMI and, surprisingly, a microphone socket. A D-Sub monitor connector is present, but it sticks out a bit. There's also a MotionEye webcam.
The keyboard has spacing between the keys, aping Sony's other keyboards, but the size of the chassis means that it's a small keyboard anyway. And that's a little bit of a problem, since the keys are more like those found on a small netbook rather than a notebook, so we can't imagine working for an entire day on the thing. Sony probably should have rethought its keyboard concept for this one.
Hands on

The cost of Luxury
Sony hinted that the price will be less than $2,000 and that it will be officially announced in October after Windows 7 launches.
