We reported on the Sony VAIO X before, but until now I hadn’t had a chance to fondle it. If I could look past the $1,499 price tag, I’d be intrigued simply due to the 1.5 pound weight and overall form factor. The 11.1″ display is quite brilliant and offers that nice 1366 x 768 resolution, which is perfect for the size. Battery life in the double-digit range is another plus, as is the Z550 2.0 GHz Intel Atom for everyday computing, 2 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD, but I think Sony is charging too much of a premium for thinness on this one.
