Click here for Cyber Monday PlayStation 3 Deals and more!
Just about every kid has some sort of video gaming system or specific game on his/her Christmas list this year. It looks as though parents are going to luck out this year as Amazon will be hosting a big video gaming sale on Cyber Monday, slashing prices down as much as 50% on most items. One of the most popular items this year to go on sale is Sony’s PS3. For those of you who may not know what that is, it is technically named PlayStation 3 and is Sony’s third release of a video gaming system. Recommended deal: PlayStation 3 Black Friday 2011 Bundle: LittleBigPlanet 2 Special Edition and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. The PS3 has become quite popular as a result of its multi-capabilities in terms of gaming, internet applications and Blu-Ray compatibility. This device competes directly with the Xbox360 and of course the Wii by Nintendo. The gaming device of preference is a matter of personal opinion. This means one kid may want a Wii while the next would rather have the Xbox360 or the PS3. Not to worry, Cyber Monday will have all of those and more on the list of items that money can be saved on. If you have been thinking about buying a PS3 or games for the device, Cyber Monday is the best day to do this. If you missed out on Black Friday then this may be your last shot at grabbing the deal of a lifetime. PlayStation 3 is one of those items that you can never go wrong with. There is probably not a kid anywhere who would scoff at this gaming system! In fact, gaming systems are not just for kids. Sometimes it’s Dad who is secretly wishing for a PS3! No matter who you are shopping for, Cyber Monday is going to render the best prices on all sorts of electronics and gaming systems so be sure you don’t miss out.
The netbook got a lot of positive reactions from the crowd and there is good reason for that. Sony’s design aesthetics clearly show through in this netbook offering and there is absolutely no point in denying that fact. However, since the model displayed at the event was a non-working, for-show-only model there is no news of when we might actually see at least a working a prototype of the device. The netbook has one 0.2mm thin OLED screen that is bent to form both the screen and the keyboard. So Sony is looking at a fully touch-based device where there will be a lot of scope for innovative UI design. For example, the keyboard can be made to easily adapt to the persons preferences and hands. Since it is on-screen, it can change to display different keyboard layouts almost instantly. There will also be scope for designing non-keyboard based UIs for applications that need them. The flexible OLED screen is also going to be a lot better than present day LCD screens if only because it is OLED. OLED is far superior to LCD in terms of brightness and power efficiency but so far it has not reached mainstream displays because it is expensive. That is changing quite fast though and we are seeing it emerge in to the market in the form of AMOLED screens. Flexible screens are being developed all over the world and it is quite clear that it will soon take over all other types and will become the de facto. Offering powerful entertainment options, the Sony VAIO VPC-W111XX/T Netbook has a very delicate and lightweight design.

The Sony VAIO VPC-W111XX/T netbook currently costs around $499 a piece, which is roughly $100 more that other equally famous netbook models. We’ve added specification for the following two netbooks to our database:  Sony Vaio W With the Vaio W series, Sony finally learns to call a spade a spade. Technically speaking, Sony has had a netbook lying around ever since the Vaio P was released (which made us all stare at a woman’s behind for legit reasons) but this is the first time they are officially using the term ‘netbook’. The good thing about the Vaio W is that it is a Sony. The bad thing about the Vaio W is that is a Sony. Allow me to explain. Being a Sony means the Vaio W has great aesthetics. Finally the size-0 models thronging the streets of Paris will have something affordable to carry around in their Louis Vuittons. It also has Sony’s great build quality and screen. However, being a Sony also means that it is expensive beyond the appealing-to-a-general-audience threshold. For $499, i.e. $500, you get a seriously underpowered computing device running on an Intel Atom 1.66GHz processor, with a 10.1inch screen, 160GB HDD and 1GB of RAM. Yes, that configuration sounds familiar because that’s what you get for well below $400 from Asus or MSI. Sony proudly displays the fact that the netbook has 3 whole hours of battery life. Someone should tell Sony that that means almost half the battery-life of comparable products that cost 35% less. Also, official estimations almost never reflect reality. So expect something around 2.5 hours. At least it still has Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11b/g/n. The first one is usually missing on low-end netbooks. This netbook is like a Chihuahua – doesn’t do much and costs more but you can carry one in your pocket. Sony should be marketing this to the Chihuahua crowd and them only. May be Ms. Hilton would like one. |
