The Rose in the Wind

Sony has with its Z-series is basically for many years Ultrabooks in the program as they appear in the book, or in the form in which they would want every user. Accordingly, it is surprising that Sony vgp-bps12 has left plenty of time to enter the first true Ultrabooks market. The 13-inch Sony Vaio version SVT 1311W1E / S boasts a high-quality housing and a stylish appearance, but also has its problems, as our test.

Hardly any other notebook category is better suited to mobile zeitgeist than the currently so hip Ultrabooks. They are small, portable and can be taken at any time, acting not so dusty, so long as the available business subnotebooks. A great balancing act has shown it in the past Sony vgp-bpl2c Vaio Z series. The subnotebook series could come up with a number of exclusive features such as full HD display or a carbon housing was unaffordable for most users, however. Exactly at this point Intel would like to start with its Ultrabooks and makes massive pressure to push the cost of producing the small Always Here machine - no wonder that the Z series is not simply become an Ultrabook, but new models were needed: The Vaio T-series, which are available to us in the 13-inch version, but also in the once manageable 11-inch version.

Sony vgp-bps22a has left with his entry into the Ultrabook world time and now starts only with Ivy Bridge setup in the "new" segment. A real disadvantage but it must not be, because in the first generation had almost every Ultrabook struggling with little problems. The ASUS UX31 (for testing) of the first generation suffered from a fairly low contrast ratio, the Dell XPS. 13 (to test) again with its weak resolution The Samsung 530U3B (for testing) or the HP Folio 13 (for testing) just had to live with the major drawbacks monitor segment. Toshiba made in his Z830 (for testing) almost got it right, but had only a BIOS update push in order to get a noisy fan in the handle. It was the new ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A could (for testing) to convince us entirely, because thanks to the built-in HD-IPS panels could finally offer an Ultrabook with an excellent display.

Now, the obvious question is whether Sony vgp-bps8a has managed to learn from the mistakes of the first Ultrabook generation of competitors and, moreover, to use their own experiences with the Z-series. Sony Vaio be priced orders SVT 1311W1E / S is in the range of 880 euros, positioned his Ultrabook So in regards to price Ultrabook midfield.

Sony remains the silver hue even true when the lid is opened, but now uses matte surfaces of magnesium. This gives the Vaio SVT 1311W1E / S some understatement - that our test will eventually go out of fashion, one can hardly imagine. In classic Apple style, the black keyboard is positioned as a strong contrast. The advantage of the used material and the surface: The vgp-bps9a Vaio SVT 1311W1E / S is extremely insensitive to greasy fingerprints. This is what Sony's 13-inch, even after a long day at work still, neat as the egg.

The Sony vgp-bps10 mass with class one with a weight of about 1.5 kg, the slightly heavier Ultrabooks the 13-inch class, but it offers an excellent finish and a very high quality material. That the Vaio SVT 1311W1E / S is the daily mobile use without major problems - you can imagine it easily.
