The VAIO SB series of 13 inch laptops from Sony is a more economical alternative for budget conscious buyers who can’t quite afford the bells and whistles of the VAIO Z series or the slimmer SA series from the company. The notebook offers a decent set of specs for its cost along with a good keyboard, a bright display, a well-built design and good battery life. Here is a detailed review of the Sony mid-range notebook.

Appearance

The VAIO SB notebook borrows a lot from the earlier VAIO laptops which have been offered by Sony. It features the same familiar casing made of matte magnesium alloy and is available in pink, white and blue shades. The back features the same big logo for VAIO which is featured in all the notebooks of the range. There is a dedicated switch for activating or deactivating the Wi-Fi and another for switching between the two performance modes; speed and stamina. The DC port and the power button glow green or orange when the laptop is asleep and turned on. On the whole, the laptop weighing 3.8 pounds feels very sturdy, even though the build quality might feel a bit uneven at times.
