  • Backlit keyboard. Switchable graphics means more battery life. Good battery life. Good price/performance ratio. Optional battery slice
  • Switchable graphics aren't as elegant as Nvidia's solution
  • While there may be nothing about the Vaio S that immediately jumps out at you, it seems like it sits in that perfect sweet spot of price, performance and battery life. We could easily see ourselves tucking this under our arm as a trusted companion for ...

  • Light and well built, excellent battery life, excellent performance, backlit keyboard, USB 3.0, ambient light sensor
  • All ports on one side, not friendly to left-handers, lots of pre-installed software
  • The Sony VAIO SB Series (VPCSB16FG) represents all that is good about mobile computing: it's a thin, light, well built and attractive 13in laptop, and thanks to 2nd Generation Intel Core CPU technology, it also possesses great battery life and fast perfor...

  • The Sony Vaio VPCSB16FG/L is priced at Rs. 54,990 and comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium. We would've preferred an all-black design, but with the smaller screen size this laptop is definitely more portable than the 15.6-inchers. Vaio noteb...

  • Metal body, Lightweight, Almost instant bootup, Very good performance, Fingerprint sensor, Feature packed
  • Screen vibrates while typing, Battery life could be better
  • The Sony VAIO S 13-inch laptop retails for a price of Rs. 56,990 with a one year warranty. We think it�s a very good price for a thin, ultraportable laptop that packs quite a performance punch in its deceptively slim form factor. The laptop�s feature-...

  • Poor display quality; Hard touchpad buttons; No ExpressCard slot
  • Sony VAIO SThe Sony VAIO S is a stylish and sturdy laptop, well-suited for students and business users. Portability has been well-taken care of, with the laptop weighing just 1.69 kg. Sony has paid attention to the ergonomics of the keyboard, allowing ...

  • At Rs. 56,990, it’s not exactly great value for money as far as performance is concerned. It’s design like many of Sony’s other designs are catchy. As you plan on using it as a mobile workhorse, you’re bound to get better performance in the battery-lif...

  • Dynamic graphic switching, Excellent backlit keyboard, Thin and light
  • Awkward touchpad placement, Physical buttons feel flimsy
  • In a nutshell, the Sony VAIO S (VPCSB16FG) is one of the best notebooks out in the market. It's solidly built, lightweight and packs a lot of processing power. Its stellar performance can appeal to just about anybody, making it a fabulous choice for those...
