Sony Vaio W in Hot Pink

Listen to article

一部の製品は、その性能やコストパフォーマンスではなく、独自性とスタイルのために高く求められています。そのため、同じ快適さをより低価格で提供するスパルタンの靴があるにもかかわらず、人々は最新かつ最も流行しており非常に高価なハバシアナスの靴を手に入れるために列を作ります。

おそらく、Sony Vaio Wについても同じことが言えるでしょう。

ソニーブランドの熱烈なファンか、ピンク色に夢中になっているかのどちらかでしょう。その両方ならなおさらです。私には選択肢がありませんでした。これは私が借りられる最後のレビュー用ユニットだからです。

Sony Vaio W は、同日本企業がネットブックカテゴリーに参入した製品です(Vaio P が実際には最初だったと私は主張しますが)、標準的な仕様を提供しながらも、Sony は他社ブランドのほぼ倍の価格を要求しました。Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz、1GB RAM、160GB HDD、WiFi 802.11b/g/n、および Intel GMA 950 グラフィックスを搭載し、Windows XP で動作します。推奨小売価格は Php39,990 です(その後、価格が下落しています)。

しかし、このモデルで私が特に気に入った機能があります。1366×768ピクセルという良好な画面解像度を備えており、同カテゴリの他のネットブックではこれまで一度も提供されたことがありません。私は以前からネットブックのディスプレイ解像度について議論しており、それが一部のグラフィックアプリケーションにおいて重要であることを述べてきました。

次に価格タグを見る際は、「ハバヤナス効果」を思い出してください。同じ理由で、HPにはヴィヴィアン・タム版やトード・ボーンジェ版があり、ASUSにはS101やN10Jモデルがありました(要するに市場セグメンテーションです)。

The Vaio W Series is cheeky, it’s like a little kids laptop. If you want something more sophisticated, go for the Pink Vaio EA or Vaio X

just put it this way: if your wife is a netbook, how much will you pay for her?

same specs, but different packaging. it really depends if you really want it…

How big was the screen? Also, i always find sony products, particularly computers overrated, they are like apple, but does not have the fanbase like jobs have.

If apple had a netbook, people would rather buy that, if style is a factor.

Ever since I had a daughter in college, my hots for anything else has fizzled away. Thoughts of tuition fees and what-nots doesn’t leave you hankering for much else.

So, how does it feel holding a pink netbook? Did it evoked some strange feelings? :D

Just kidding…

Some people must find so much pleasure that they are in this “segment”, and that’s the way it is – nothing personal; nor do we begrudge them for it.

Sir Abe, that wish list post got so much response. We just found a way to vent our consumer desires, maybe? haha! Merry Christmas!
