Sony VAIO S Series Reviewed: Lightest, Priciest WiDi Notebook

Between the Toshiba Satellite E205, the Dell Studio 15z, and, now, the Sony VAIO S Series, Best Buy has a triumvirate of sleekly designed laptops that you can only buy through the big box retailer, and all of them come with Intel’s Wireless Display technology. WiDi lets you stream content from the PC to a big screen TV using the included Netgear Push2TV adapter. With a 13-inch screen and a chassis that’s a little over an inch thick, the Vaio S is the thinnest and lightest of the bunch, while still offering performance that blows away most other notebooks in its weight class. At $1,049, though, it isn’t exactly cheap for a laptop these days, and it’s the most expensive of Best Buy’s newest exclusives. Are those extra couple hundred dollars worth it? Find out in our full review.
