Sony’s new laptops and first ultrabook have arrived
In the morning, I was able to attend a Sony presentation where they presented new generations of their portable machines, primarily the company’s first ultrabook.
The presentation of the machines was linked to a fashion show, but I would not comment on the clothes now, on the one hand I did not touch them, on the other hand it is likely that you are not interested either.
We may be much more interested in the new machines, which were revamped pieces of the E, S and T series.
The E-Series is equipped with an Intel Core i3, Core i5 or the latest Ivy Bridge processor, 14-, 15,5-, 17-inch display, DVD or Blu-ray player, depending on the type of entry-level machine for everyday use. With regard to the machines, the manufacturer has highlighted the advanced energy-saving features that enable the ten-day standby mode to be achieved in hibernation.
In the S series you will find machines for business. They come with a 13,3 or 15,5 inch display, but with strong hardware compared to the size of the machine. The processor can also be an Ivy Bridge based i5. Advanced power management is also a key feature of these machines, but in addition to longer battery life, 30-day standby is now available.
The T series stands for Ultrabook. A machine made according to Intel's recommendations cannot be called strong among Ultrabooks. The Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB of memory, 320GB of storage, plus a 32GB SSD puts Sony’s first Ultrabook in the mid-range. It is gratifying, however, that in addition to the relatively low performance, a favorable price was associated with the Ultrabook, as the recommended price of the model is HUF 239.
Another interesting feature about Sony notebooks is Gesture Control, which Sony says is an expression sensor control. This control, similar to the Microsoft Treasure, interprets our hand gestures. True, you don’t know too many gestures, but on presentation pages, for example, it’s great for flipping through a presentation.
Sony’s new machines can be found in stores in major retail chains.
