Designer Laptops – Sony VAIO VGN-P530H-Q Lifestyle PC (mini laptop)
At the risk of sounding shallow and perfunctory, I confess that I am one of those who can buy a laptop simply because of its good looks. In the last decade, manufacturers like Apple and Sony have placed great emphasis on producing beautiful laptops. My job requires that I carry my laptop with me wherever I go, so I have decided to buy myself a mini laptop or netbook. If I’m going to take a laptop with me wherever I go, it might look good too, so I bought the super stylish Sony VAIO VGN-P530H / Q Lifestyle PC (black).
The Sony VAIO VGN-P530H / Q Lifestyle PC is thinner than most netbooks on the market. In fact, it is as thin as a mobile phone. One of my favorite features of this model is its sleek design. It’s more rectangular than other netbooks on the market, measuring 9.7 inches long and 4.8 inches wide. It weighs only 1.4 pounds, making it a truly portable mini laptop.
The Sony VAIO GN-P530H / Q Lifestyle PC is not all good looks and substance. Hidden behind its beautiful design is a feature-packed mini laptop. This netbook is also a GPS navigator. You can use this laptop to navigate and find addresses even without an internet connection (in the US and Canada). By using the GPS function, you can find directions and navigate to your desired location within 50-mile radii from where you are.
Instead of its normal LCD screen, this model comes with a 1600 x 768 resolution that is powered by Xbrite-eco technology with LEC backlights. The keyboard layout is quite refreshing, as heavy word processing on a netbook keyboard is often a challenge. The shift keys are strategically placed and typing on this Sony netbook feels a lot like typing on a regular keyboard. It is powered by a 1.3Ghz Intel processor and comes with 2GB of RAM. It also comes with a 60GB ATA hard drive.
