Sony has unveiled the new Vaio VPCCB2S1E/B, a new model in the C series. The Vaio CB2S1 is intended to be a stylish portable companion that handles multimedia tasks particularly well. acer aspire 5050 battery
In any case the Full HD display and the integrated Blu-ray drive make this abundantly clear. But the notebook’s hardware is impressive in other respects too. As well as a processor from Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge family, you get a graphics card from the AMD HD 6000 series. A backlit keyboard with a separate number pad should round off the package nicely.acer aspire 5100 battery
Sony’s notebook cases usually stand out with their attractive designs and good build quality. The Vaio VPCCB2S1E/B is no exception. The black design (or white if you prefer) makes an excellent first impression, and has a number of interesting gimmicks to entice you. apple a1189 battery
A 3D effect has been built into the lid and the area below the palm rest, which makes it look like there are little square boxes under the surface. It’s a nice effect, but it also has its downsides - every single one of the notebook’s surfaces are high-gloss plastic surfaces. apple a1175 battery
These seem to magically attract fingerprints and greasy smudges, and are quickly covered in them. So you should always carry a soft microfibre wiping cloth with you in your notebook case. Despite this, we actually really like the 3D effect created by the plastic surfaces. apple a1185 battery
It is particularly striking in the palm rest area. Depending on how the light falls on the surface, the pattern underneath will sometimes glow blue (clearly visible in our photographs).Fujitsu lifebook t4220 battery
In terms of build quality, the Sony Vaio notebook does not lag behind its rivals; it doesn’t make cracking or creaking sounds. And even the display lid strongly resists being twisted, although it is also comparatively thick. Fujitsu lifebook t5010 battery
The two display hinges hold the lid firmly in place, but only after it has stopped wobbling backwards and forwards a few times. It is possible to open the laptop with one hand, but the base unit is pulled upwards a little with the lid. The Sony Vaio’s base unit appears solid. Fujitsu lifebook t4210 battery
The palm rests hardly flex at all even under heavy pressure, but the keyboard is not as resistant to pressure as you would hope. In the centre it is still fairly sturdy, but the closer you get to the edges, the spongier it gets. It is particularly noticeable in the number pad area - which you can feel flexing even during normal use.Fujitsu lifebook t4215 battery
There are two access panels on the underside which allow you to upgrade the Sony Vaio VPCCB2S1E/B, although they have only given you access to the RAM and the hard drive. The rest of the hardware is kept away from the user.Lenovo ideapad s10 battery
There are no big surprises on the Sony Vaio when it comes to the choice of ports. In fact it delivers all the ports you would usually demand of a modern 15-inch notebook. USB 3.0 and HDMI are the first that we should mention. Lenovo 3000 v100 battery
Unfortunately Sony has decided against an eSATA port, probably because there is already a faster USB 3.0 connection on board, and external hard drives can be quickly connected to the notebook over this. Lenovo 3000 v200 battery
But the decision will annoy users who already have an external eSATA hard drive. Meanwhile in terms of layout, Sony has opted for placing all the ports near the front of the notebook. While the right side has both audio ports and two USBs near the front edge, the left side has all its ports near the front. Lenovo 3000 c200 battery
It’s a particular shame that the USBs, which will be much in use, and the HDMI and VGA ports are so far forward. When the notebook is in stationary use, this will produce something of a spaghetti of cables. It would have been nice if the cables had been laid out a little more thoughtfullyLenovo x300 battery.
In this respect the Sony Vaio notebook gives you everything your heart could desire. If you use a wired connection to go online, you can use the Atheros AR8151 PCI-E adaptor, which supports Gigabit Ethernet as well as 10 and 100 MBit/s. A wireless adaptor (AR9285), also by Atheros, delivers a wireless connection. This supports the 802.11 b/g/n standards.Lenovo x200 battery
Bluetooth is also integrated directly into the notebook. This comes in the latest version 3.0. So speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s are possible, in theory.Lenovo thinkpad t400 battery
The Sony Vaio’s extras are not exactly extensive. Other than the notebook and the battery, you only get the power block with cable and a small set of instructions.Lenovo thinkpad t410 battery
The one-year base warranty that the notebook comes with can be extended by a year if you register with Sony. However, no details are given about the exact coverage provided by the warranty. Lenovo thinkpad t61 battery
