I am very much a fan of Sony when it comes to Television / Camera / Mobile Phones and would go behind them, even if they are a bit more priced than their competitors. That’s because of the brand name it has. If you are one like me, and are interested in Sony’s computers too, here is a 10.1 inch screen Netbook for you to consider – Sony VAIO VPC-W211AX, obviously at a bit higher price tag at $450 plus. If you had seen the specifications of Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N (which is 12” of course), you may feel that Sony’s VAIO VPC-W211AX doesn’t have equally matching feature for the similar price. But It’s Sony!
Let’s take a closer look at the specifications of Sony VAIO VPC-W211AX.
Operating System
Sony VAIO VPC-W211AX comes with Genuine Microsoft Windows 7 Starter (32-bit), where as Asus Eee PC 1201 N comes with Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium.
