Sony VAIO S Series SVS13A12FXB REVIEW

The Sony Vaio S Series offers you screen resolution that is comparable to our top ranked products. The graphics card is simple, but with a high-definition screen, colors are vibrant and the contrast is electric. This screen makes videos and graphics look how they're supposed to look. This laptop computer also offers an attractive, solid design, if you opt for the premium model. The large hard drive and extra RAM make this a solid multimedia laptop.

The 2.5GHz Intel i5 processor is the brains behind this laptop. With Turbo Boost, it can get up to 3.1GHz. If you opt for the i7 processor, it can get up to 3.6GHz. Either way, this processor is fast, and you will notice the speed when loading up programs such as Photoshop or games like StarCraft 2. Even if you simply want to browse, check emails or watch videos, you may want to consider this laptop.

This device offers 6GB of RAM, with room to upgrade to 8GB. You will get plenty of storage space as the laptop has a 640GB hard drive. Upgrades will give you more space, but no matter what, this is more than enough space for standard computing needs.

This laptop is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE graphics card. This middle to low end card works well with videos and games that aren't very resource intensive. The screen is a high-resolution 1600 x 900 display with decent resolution, so you can expect fantastic viewing with Blu-ray movies. You can even use the HDMI port to connect the laptop to one of your HDTVs.

Another benefit of using the Sony Vaio S Series laptop is the extensive feature set this computing device offers. All of your basic computing features are included on this device, such as a memory card slot, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth capabilities, along with two USB 2.0 ports and a USB 3.0 port.

There is a built-in HD webcam on this laptop along with a microphone for chatting with friends and family. Another standout feature on this device is its ability to become a mobile hotspot.

The Sony Vaio S Series provides a stunning display. This computing device features a widescreen 15.5-inch backlit LED display. The images on this device are sharp, and the high resolution makes viewing movies, TV shows and photos enjoyable. Although, we were disappointed in the speakers. Sony is known for their sound in the speaker world, but with this laptop, you will be better off using headphones to watch your flicks.

The small and sleek design of the Sony Vaio S series is one of this computer’s standout features. The lightweight, compact design makes this computing device enjoyable to carry throughout your day. The S Series also features seven-hour battery life.
