Pink Laptops

Sony has long been synonymous with quality and impeccable style. While priced a bit higher than brands like HP and Acer, it’s definitely more affordable than Apple’s coveted laptops. In addition to making eye-catching laptops that last, Sony always tries to come up with innovative technology that sets its laptops apart. Another noteworthy reason, they are well worth the extra buck is the fact that all their laptop offerings pass Energy Star conditions making Sony a socially responsible company.

But you already know that I guess and that’s probably why you’re reading this review so you can find out more about its latest addition to the laptop market – the Sony Vaio CS290JEC – before going out and claiming it for your own. Well, right at the outset, let me state plainly that you won’t be disappointed with this unit in Cosmopolitan Pink. Packed with great features this pink laptop is a delight to use whether you use it for work or play.

Let’s start off with the all important specs before we turn our attention to its appearance. Powered by an Intel Core2 Duo processor T6400, this style statement has an enormous 4GB RAM and 320GB HDD. It has a 64-bit pre-installed, weighs just 5.7llbs (battery included) and comes with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium.

And now for the looks! The Cosmopolitan pink of this model isn’t just limited to the glossy exterior either but extends inside to the both the palm-rest area and the keyboard bezel. Even the mousepad’s done out in a matching shade with a matte finish. The pink CS is made from metal alloy and plastics with the former providing more protection to the HDD on the bottom and the latter being used on the upper exteriors.

The 14.1” display has a WXGA glossy LCD (1200X800) that makes video and movie viewing nothing short of a pleasure. However, the slight kinks we uncovered included inadequate viewing in sunny conditions and just about average vertical viewing angles. The speakers are pretty decent and when using the Vaio Musicbox software, the unique LED light bar feature (located on the front below the mouse pad) can be used to create a stunning strobe light effect. The intuitive A/V slide controls also respond beautifully.

The keyboard is well spaced and easy to use but the Synpatics touchpad exhibits a wee bit of lag.

The ports include 1 VGA, 2 audio jacks, 3 USB ports, and Ethernet connection, Modem, Firewire, SD multi-card reader and MS slot. But for such an expensive and up-to-date model, this beauty lacks both an HDMI port and an eSATA.

Well worth checking out are the excellent multimedia features packed in which certainly add to its overall appeal. Other outstanding features include the Motion Sensor security feature which works in tandem with the 1.3MP webcam, Blue-ray disc features, Bluetooth and the802.11n LAN technology which provides you with a superfast online experience.

The six cell Lithium ion battery ensures decent battery life of approximately four hours when the display brightness is set to 70%.

Those who love matching accessories can also log onto to Sony’s website to check out the matching pink case that costs approximately $65. Unfortunately though, there isn’t a matching mouse on offer.
