Dell Adamo XPS vs Sony Vaio X : Which laptop will you prefer?
After the introduction of Apple’s MacBook Air in January, 2008, various companies like Dell and Sony Corp also joined the race to release light and thin notebooks to attract corporate as well as trendy people. Dell’s Adamo XPS and Sony’s Vaio X have been just announced with both slim factor and light weight yet powerful for daily usage. However, except for price tag, these devices have all the features you want in your PC.
Dell Adamo XPS
After months of anticipation, Dell has announced its revamped Adamo XPS laptop with a starting price tag of Rs. 1,50,000. Dell claims that it is the "world's thinnest laptop", at 0.4 inches thick, which will compete with MacBook Air, Thinkpad X301 and HP's Voodoo Envy 133 laptop.
Sony Vaio X
Sony Corp has launched the VAIO X in India, which features ‘Silverthorne’ Intel Atom processor. It is the world's slimmest and lightest ultraportable laptop as it weighs just 655gm and is about half an inch thin. The new device comes in two models, which are VPCX113KG for Rs. 64,990 and VPCX117LG for Rs. 84,990.
Here, we compare the two notebooks feature- by-feature.
Technical Specifications
The Dell Adamo XPS laptop features an 180GB hard drive, a 1.4 GHz or 1.9 GHz Intel ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processor, with 4GB of memory. It has 3 USB ports, located on the back. However, Sony VAIO X Series feature a low-budget Intel Atom processor, which is 2.0 GHz Intel Atom Z550 CPU, which is paired with 2GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD.
Thinness Counts
Sony Vaio X measures 11.0 x 7.3 x 0.6 inches, whereas Dell Adamo XPS measures 13.39 x 10.71 x 0.4-inch thin. Hence, Dell would win this one by a landslide or more precisely, by 0.2 inch. However, with bigger port selection, Sony leads the race.
Keyboard Comfort
Due to its small size, the X-Series keyboard's keys are tiny and closely spaced, whereas Dell’s keyboard is big and comfortable, with full-size aluminum keys and correct spacing. However, both devices have "Chiclet variety" keyboard.
Weight
Weighing just 1.6 pounds with its standard battery, the Sony VAIO X Series outshines the 3.2-pound Dell Adamo XPS. Hence, VAIO X is the better travel companion.
Ports make the Difference
Sony VAIO X comes with unique Ethernet jack, two memory-card slots and VGA ports, whereas Dell skips memory-card slots and other ports but offers dongles to substitute all this.
Battery Life
According to various analysts, Sony’s standard battery lasted about half an hour longer than the Adamo did in casual usage.
Display
Sony VAIO X features 11.1” LED-backlit display with 1,366 x 768 resolution that allows good viewing angles. However, Dell Adamo XPS comes with 13.4” display with same resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio.
Colors available
