Sony Vaio w series laptop is the latest laptop for better processing. This is the new version laptop. It provides windows 7 processing. It looks like pretty. Sony is the popular name in the industry.

Even better, the Vaio Eco VPC-W212AX doesn’t even come packaged in a box: it comes inside the shrink-wrapped laptop case itself, which is a somewhat brilliant decision. Doing away with box packaging and offering a free case in one fell swoop is a move we’d love to see manufacturers of all portable gadgets adopt.

And, to Sony’s credit, the Eco Series Vaio W isn’t any more expensive than its existing W line, and looks awfully attractive with its nearly iridescent finish. From an ecological standpoint, the W Eco Series is a thumbs-up.

From a Netbook standpoint, the Vaio W is still an expensive Atom ultraportable. Starting at $480, the Vaio Eco VPC-W212AX does come with a new Atom N450 processor and a 250GB hard drive, but so do many new Netbooks, and often at cheaper prices, although this Eco Series edition with its increased specs does come in at $20 less than the original Vaio W we reviewed. This Vaio W does have a higher-res 10.1-inch screen than many other competitors, but you’ll have to decide for yourself whether a premium-priced Netbook is for you, ecological considerations notwithstanding. Regardless, this is a direction we’d like to see all laptops take in the future.

The Vaio Eco VPC-W212AX does have Bluetooth 2.1 and 802.11n Wi-Fi, connectivity–features not seen on lower-priced Netbooks and also adds a 250GB hard drive instead of the previous version’s 160GB, a welcome upgrade–although the amount of RAM still remains a paltry 1GB. The included OS is Windows 7 Starter, not Home Premium. While Starter can do most of what you’d require for basic computing, its level of customisation and flexibility is limited compared to full-blown Windows 7. (more…)
