VAIO X505 Extreme (Reflective)



Visceral: On first look, the X505 appears extremely sleek, conjuring up images of coolness and attractiveness. One would immediately notice the ultra thinness of the machine.

Behavioural: Battery life short, about 2-3 hours per charge. The trackpad is missing from the laptop, perhaps due to the design constraints. Palms have to rest outside the keyboard, onto the surface of the table. Keyboard lacked tactile feedback, which makes it hard to type at times. One good point about it though, was that it weighed in at about 0.79 kg with the battery installed, extremely light weight for a 12 inch screen.

Reflective: Status symbol; being in the forefront of technological advancements. It is a great show off device. The super slim factor would surely catch the attention of anyone near your vicinity. It tells everyone much about the exquisite taste and of course, the financial status of the user; a device of this calibre surely does not come cheap! (About S$4999)

For your information, the VAIO 505 Extreme was chosen for one of NASA’s space missions for their computing needs because of its extreme light weight and low heat generation and low electricity consumption factors.
