The Pinky Goodness of VAIO Woos the Ladies
Times are changing and they are changing fast. Gone are the days when society was divided by gender boundaries and prejudice for the opposite sex. There used to be time when geeks and techies are exclusive for males as they dominated the computer world especially video games and programming. But now, more and more women are demanding equal treatment as their computing needs also grew. And they are not naïve because they know exactly what they want and why they want it; they demand equal treatment as well as topnotch specs for their gadgets and they want it now.
And Sony certainly delivered all the goods when they developed and released the “Vaio W” that certainly scored a lot of oohs and aahs from female techies especially with its hot pink model. It features a 10.1-inch LCD panel that churns out 1366×768 screen resolution. Its crystal clear display is powered up by an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and comes equipped with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. It is also really light and small while maintaining smart functionality and distinct style with dimensions of 268×180x32mm 1.19kg.
Its only real drawback is its short battery life that averages around 3 hours on a single charge because of its rather weak 3-cell battery. But for the ladies who want to remain chic and in style while accomplishing all the necessary tasks in a complete package, “Vaio W” performs really great just as it looks awesome.
