New Sony VAIOs – Laptop Gets Beat With The Ugly Stick
22 Feb 2011 - By Omar Mariño

Who says tech has to look cool?  At least that’s what somebody at Sony said when they okayed the design for the new VAIO CA and CB models.  Sure they pack the Core i5 heat but they look like neon-clad rejects from Miami Vice. Read more >>

Sony VAIO Gets Arabesque Signature Model
12 Nov 2010 - By Omar Mariño

Sony VAIOs have a reputation of being slightly overpriced, moderately over-speced, and a bit elitist and gold plating and arabesque etching isn’t going to help their reputation any.  Still, Sony is hoping that they’ll be able to sell a few of these Signature Collection models for the holiday season and I would be surprised if they didn’t.

Sony’s BDX-S500U Blu-Ray Drive Shows Us How Fast is Too Fast
30 Sep 2010 - By Omar Mariño

The BDX-S500U from Sony is an external Blu-Ray drive that really pushes the limits of the USB 2.0 technology it’s saddled with.  It can shred through single layer BD-R discs at up to 6X and dual layer discs only slow it down a little.  (They suffer a mere 4X burn speed.)  Sounds great until you realize that that exceeds the max transfer speed for the cable between it and your PC.  Read more >>

The Sony VPC-CA102Yl Waterproof HD Camcorder Makes a Splash!
5 Aug 2010 - By Omar Mariño

This is one of the most impressive waterproof camcorders I’ve yet to see.  It boasts  1920 X 1080 / 60i video capture capabilities and will even take 14 megapixel still shots—failure mind-blowing in itself for a pistol cam!  While the zoom length isn’t that great comparatively (12X for video and only 5X for stills) it’s decent for a waterproof camcorder.  Read more >>
