Sony Vaio S Series [laptop]
If we spent yesterday reviewing the Sony Vaio C series laptops today do the same with the Sony Vaio S Series, a new family of computers that have Dell latitude d600 batteries that are committed to sobriety and ultra low weight compared to the colorful design of series C.
Available in white, black and pink, the Vaio S series are small size equipment, with 13.3-inch screen diagonal 16:9 to resolution 1366 x 768 pixels. The casing, made from a single piece of magnesium reduces the weight of just 1.75 kilos portable, Dell latitude d620 battery included. This weight is slightly higher than many netbook and feel the hold is extremely light for its size.

The S Series keyboard is very similar to those of Series C, Chiclet, good size and backlit in white. Sony has equipped the S series covers ornaments such as artificial colors. On the sides, the S Series is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports, USB 3.0, VGA, HDMI, Ethernet port and SD card and Memory Stick. It also has expansion slot ExpressCard 34 mm.
On the keys, the Vaio has some dedicated buttons to access the Internet or automatically switch between integrated Intel graphics, low power but low energy of the Dell latitude d630 battery, or the AMD Radeon HD 6470M with 512MB of memory. This ability to modulate the graphics performance, coupled with control of the brightness of the screen using ambient light sensor results in a great performance of the batteries, that hold 7 hours on paper (about 5 in the real world).
The autonomy of the Vaio S Series can be folded up to 14 hours if you use a Dell vostro 1500 battery that attaches to the bottom of the laptop increasing the height about two centimeters.
Although the team lost much of its charm with this attachment, the original lightness makes we can afford to sacrifice design if need autonomy at all costs.
Vaio S Series, power to choose
Internally, the processor integrates Vaio S Series Intel Core i5-2410M 2.3Ghz frequently lift up to 2.9GHz software. The memory is 4GB DDR3 RAM and hard drive for a 500GB SATA at 5400 RPM. The optical drive is a Combo DVD SuperMulti, while wireless connectivity to the Series N S passing through WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1.

Vaio S Series Engadget's opinion
For just 100 euros more than the C series, the Vaio S offer an austere but elegant design, light weight and good performance configurable to our needs perfectly. On the other hand, autonomy, with or without extra battery boost, is very satisfactory. The brand makes Vaio S Series is not as cheap as laptops which have a Dell inspiron e1505 battery from other companies, but that does not mean they are an excellent option for those who can afford the payment.

Outstanding battery [battery]
The vast majority of the tablets that have come or come to the market these days have a range of around 10 hours. They are working 10 hours reading and websites, of course, video playback may reduce this figure.
In most cases you can use for two or three days in a moderate way without having to plug into power and although this is fantastic, no doubt we are spoiled. Now the Dell inspiron e1505 battery of a laptop and it seems to disastrous in recent years has spread considerably.
Apple, seven
The latest MacBook Pro Apple introduced this week, assume for example the Dell inspiron 6400 battery has a seven hours of battery life. This is slightly lower than the previous generation (which was eight or nine hours.) The reason is that in Cupertino have changed the measurement program to fit a more realistic use of computer.
Seven hours is a triumph when you consider that less than three years to overcome the barrier of the three hours required a significant sacrifice of power. The Apple tracking method is not without controversy. To accommodate a larger Dell inspiron 1720 battery without making the computer more heavy or bulky battery is not accessible and the only way to add an extra is to use external batteries such as HyperMac.
Lenovo, taking the lead with 30
But the MacBook Pro computers are not only presented this week, Lenovo has managed to spray all records of autonomy with their latest creations. The T420s keeps the traditional aesthetic made popular IBM Thinkpad computers but thanks to an extra battery high capacity of 1.8 kilos this team is capable of supporting up to 30 hours away from the plug.
The figure is difficult to imagine in this era of Dell xps m1210 batteries. Although often spoken of alternative solutions to power our electronic devices such as fuel cells, the fact is that only this type of battery is sufficiently developed for commercial use. The problem is that many resources devoted to research and develop the autonomy of these batteries will only grow 10% a year, virtually nothing to an industry that doubles in power every 18 months.
Sony, 14 (with tip)
The solution of the external battery is that Sony has also tried. These days unveils new Vaio range S equipped with the latest processors from Intel's Sandy Bridge family.
It is a lightweight (1.75 kilos) which, like the Apple Macbook hold seven hours away from the plug. The key here, however, is that Dell has created an external Dell inspiron e1705 battery that attaches to the bottom of the computer and folding autonomy. 14 hours of work, more than enough, for example, to an intercontinental flight.

Small screen with great benefits！ [laptop]
Videotape with an SLR so often display a problem. Often the fixed and difficulted to see and even when the swivels are the small. In the professional video world, there is a long time to solve the battery-powered monitors to hook up,such as a Dell latitude d620 battery for a your laptop monitor. The classic brand in the market is Marshall who is doing very well and feature-packed screens. But Marshall screens in sensible sizes often cost more than a camera, their cheapest model starts at around 7500 dollars.
We have looked at a relatively new financial options, the Sony CLM-V55, which is five inches high and can be very helpful when you want to do some advanced things with the camera.
Beware of the sun.
If you have a nice laptop, you may like to have a Dell inspiron e1505 battery to have a longer battery life. The same, the monitor has good image quality, with very good viewing angle. The image size is 800x480 but receive up to 1920x1080 pixels and can display full HD with good quality. As for the bracket as Sony has wisely stuck to a simple but stable blixtskof with a single point. Sturdy and easy.
In addition to the monitor will send Sony a hood of hard plastic that protects against sunlight, video photographer's best friend on a sunny spring day.
As for settings, so are all the usual settings for displays as sharpness, brightness and contrast. It handles it all very smooth with the help of a feed wheel with button function. You known the brightness and contrast are important, the same with your laptop which has a Dell vostro 1500 battery.
Helps with macro photos.
A fun feature on the Sony screen is that you can activate the so-called Peak-function, where the image black and white, but areas of high contrast turn red. This is extremely helpful for focusing and a feature you want, but in such a screen. In the Sony screen can also display different origins in real time, which is also helpful.
These screens are sold primarily as a video accessories. But with today's SLR fills the fact a different and equally important function. They are absolutely brilliant for macro photography, then extreme close-up photography. At such a shooting, many Live View function for accurate focusing. With the particular peak feature will make it much easier to see exactly what you do. For conventional Dell latitude d630 batteries, there have been enhancements angle finder and eyepiece magnifier, but this kind of displays work much better.
Note that the screen is sold without Dell latitude d600 batteries and costs about 600 bucks a pop. Sony sees the good in the first place as an accessory to their SLRs, where the owner often already have a battery and a charger. But even with battery and charger, the price is still competitive, and for those who already have the accessories, the screen is really cheap.
