Sony VAIO SA Review

The Sony VAIO SA is a 13.3” screen high-end laptop that sits between the cheaper VAIO SB and premium VAIO Z in terms of price and quality. The particular VAIO SA under review is the 3rd generation VAIO SA3 model number VPCSA3AFX 13.3” laptop. It was purchased from B&H Photo & Video while on sale for the excellent price of $799. The specs on the VAIO SA3 under review are as follows:

Acer Aspire S5 Ultrabook Specs Announced

The Acer Aspire S5, yet another ultrabook announced at CES 2012, only 0.59” thick will be the thinnest ultrabook on the market when it is released sometime in May. The ports on Aspire S5 are located on the back and they can slide open and closed using a powered mechanism. The case is made of a magnesium-aluminum alloy so it’s going to be fairly rugged despite its ultra-thin design. Full specs for the Aspire S5 are as follows:

Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A (13-inch)

The good: A thin, stylish design, long battery life, excellent screen, and a new second-generation Intel Core i5 CPU make the Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A one of the best ultrathin Windows laptops we've ever seen.

The bad: The Series 9's way-too-high sticker price makes the MacBook Air look downright affordable by comparison; the flexy case design doesn't feel as good as the MacBook Air's, either.

HP Envy 17 3D (Envy 17-2290NR) Review

The HP Envy 17 3D 2290NR is a stylish, 17.3” screen desktop replacement model that features an aluminum case design and Beats Audio. Inside the box you will find a sleek professional looking laptop without all the stickers you typically find on a Windows machine fresh out of the box. Call it taking a page out of the Apple playbook or just being customer friendly, either way it’s nice not to have to worry about removing stickers and glue remnants from a laptop you spent $1,500 on. The Envy 17 2290NR comes standard with an Intel Quad Core i7 processor and switchable graphics. The hybrid graphics makes it possible for this laptop to double as a gaming machine by using its high mid-range AMD graphics and also function as a battery friendly work machine by running on Intel integrated graphics when you need it to. The Envy 17-2290NR machine can be found on HP.com for $1,499.99. In my case I ordered a custom built model with the following configuration on my Employee Purchase Program for $1,466.21 before taxes, and free shipping:
