Sony's candidate in the thin and light category is the Vaio Y. Introduced in the Philippines last February, the Sony Vaio Y is a 13.3" notebook powered by an Intel 1.3GHz CULV. The body is, as expected, thin and light with added design accents pretty common to most high-end Vaio laptops. There are a couple of buttons Sony added on top of the full qwerty keyboard -- an Assist button for out-of-the-box customer support and a Vaio button that triggers Transfer Support (for when you want to migrate your content/documents from one Vaio laptop to another). What's a bit annoying is the Vaio Gate (a shortcut bar that docks on top of the screen) that messes up a portion of the screen and blocks off the tabs when using the browser of full screen. I get an average 5 to 6 hours on balanced settings and BatteryBar gives it a nice rating of just under 6 hours (close to the promised 8 hours by Sony). As expected of any Sony line of laptops, the Sony Vaio Y comes with a premium price of Php54,999. Now that's what it means when they say you're paying for the Sony brand.
