The netbook is dead, long live the netbook! Or at least something like that, as far as AMD is concerned. Sony's Vaio YB is the vanguard of the chip designer's attempt to wrest control of the cheap and cheerful market from Intel, keeping things af...

If you've got modest needs (portability but still able to get things done), Sony's Vaio YB will fit your life perfectly.

One thing is certain when reviewing a Sony VAIO laptop: lots of people will come up to us and tell us how nice it looks. And we're not going to argue. The Sony VAIO YB Series (VPCYB16KG) ultraportable laptop (or sub-notebook) sure does look good with...

Sony has grabbed AMD´s new portable-friendly APU and gone to town with a design set to win hearts and minds. This light-weight ultra-portable design weighs in somewhere between a netbook and a full-power (read: expensive) notebook.The Sony Vaio YB Se...

One thing that we wish Sony had done was slap more memory into the Vaio YB. While 2GB is pretty standard for netbooks, the GPU part of the E-350 eats up 400MB right off the bat. Bumping the RAM up to 3 or 4GB would just give that little bit of extra buffe...

The Sony Vaio Y netbook is Sony's first try at AMD's new Fusion processor. Sony opted for the fastest of the lot with the E 350 Fusion processor, a dual-core processor that runs at 1.6GHz and integrates a Radeon HD 6310 graphics unit. Priced at Php29,990...

We've been hearing about the AMD Fusion APU for years now, so when we got the opportunity to do a review on a Sony VAIO laptop with the dual-core E-350 APU we jumped at the chance to see what it can do. The notebook we received for testing was the S...

The Sony VAIO Y Series is a very portable notebook that packs some serious performance in a notebook that is just 11.6-inches, but the slow 5400-RPM hard drive appears to be holding back the true potential of this notebook...

Sony is surely aware of this, and has provided a more affordable alternative with the AMD sister model Vaio VPC-YB1S1E/S at hand. The mini is listed in shops from a mere 475 Euros. The configuration with AMD E-350 and Radeon HD 6310 is possibly exactly th...

With the Vaio VPCYB1S1E/S from 475 Euros, Sony has created a price wise interesting mini-subnotebook, which can stand out from the competition. With respect to the pure CPU speed, the 11.6 inch Vaio is more a netbook than a subnotebook, since the processi...

Netbooks offer a lot of features that buyers are looking for: They're extremely portable, have long lasting batteries, and often come in several colors, all while providing basic computing capabilities. A lot of buyers feel limited by the bare-bones ap...

Powerful dual-core AMD E-350 processor is top of the line. The 500GB hard drive offers lots of storage space. Large 11.6-inch screen. Bluetooth, media card readers, Web cam, and more.
Some bloatware pre-installed.
With its speedy dual-core AMD E-350 processor, large 500GB hard drive, and a size that is at once compact and large enough for comfortable typing and viewing, the Sony VAIO VPC-YB15KX/S is a strong new entry in the netbook market. Buy it now...

The VAIO YB benefits from the low-wattage AMD E-350 APU in terms of heat output as well as overall performance. The exterior temperature of the notebook barely increased after 30 minutes of serious activity. The bottom...

At the end of the day the new Sony VAIO Y is a good netbook alternative that struggles a little bit among the variety of similarly-equipped 11-inch laptops. The new AMD E-350 processor and graphics are fantastic, but we're going to see a lot of small notebooks using this hardware in 2011 and that makes it tough for manufacturers to convince people to buy their product. The VAIO YB doesn't provide...

The Sony VAIO VPC-YB15KX/S is an 11-inch laptop that offers AMD's new Fusion CPU/GPU combo chipset and a new design. It's definitely an ultraportable, but it doesn't sacrifice performance as you get a dual-core CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard dri...
