Sony Vaio Duo 11 Win 8
Sony Vaio Duo 11 Win 8 Overview
Sony's Windows 8-based Vaio Duo 11 (Sony VAIO VPCCA2S1E/ DVD Drive) is the Japanese manufacturer's best shot to date at providing tablet functionality in an interesting form factor, but I'm still not convinced.Like the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, Asus Taichi and Toshiba Satellite U925t, the Vaio Duo 11 Sony VAIO VGN-BZ1 DVD Drive has a gimmick. In the Duo's case it's a touchscreen tablet with a slider keyboard design that sets it apart from traditional notebook designs that simply have touchscreens.
The design is uncomfortable in other ways, too. The base extends beyond the display, so the sides of the device feel jagged and uneven. Our thumbs usually settled on the extended lower half, and this put extra weight on our fingers gripping the Sony VAIO VPCCW1S1T/L DVD Drive device from behind. The design is also rather inelegant: there’s a lot going on behind the display, with ribbon cables attaching the tilted panel to the base. We know, we know: having an exposed hinge system is pretty much a given with sliders, but other devices like the MSI S20 at least manage to look a little less messy.
Sony unveiled the VAIO Duo 11 hybrid laptop Sony VAIO VPCEH3A4R DVD Drive in Singapore on October 11, 2012. The Duo 11 hybrid (Figure A) is an ultrabook with a sliding 11.6-inch LCD display (Figure B) that switches the device between slate and keyboard mode. Its full-HD (1920×1080) touch sensitive screen allows for touch input or use of the digitizer stylus that comes with the package. laptop dvd drive burner

Sony Vaio VGN-AW31M/H
Sony Vaio VGN-AW31M/H
Value for money is subjective with a laptop like this, but there's no denying the Sony Vaio VGN-AW31M/H is a large, beautiful desktop replacement.We recently reviewed one end of the desktop-replacement laptop spectrum in the shape of the £410 Toshiba Satellite L350 and now here's the other -- the Sony Vaio VGN-AW31M/H. With an 18.4-inch screen, this is one serious slab of Sony technology and it has a price tag to match: £1,100. Value for money is subjective with a laptop like this, but there's no denying the Sony Vaio VGN-AW31M/H is a large, beautiful desktop replacement. The specification falls short of stunning considering the price, but it's still a very capable performer and few laptops this massive look as lovely as this
Single Review, online available, Long.
Pros: Huge, high-resolution screen Superb keyboard Sophisticated good looks Bad
Cons: Core specification could be higher at this price
The 18.4-inch screen is clearly one of the reasons for the Sony Vaio VGN-AW31M/H's high price. Not only is it huge for a laptop, but it has an equally expansive widescreen resolution of 1,680x945 pixels.

Sony Vaio AW11Z/B Specs & Review
Sony Vaio AW11ZB Specs & Review:
The Sony Vaio AW11Z/B's design is simple - black with a silver trim in this case, with only the usual PC-laptop flair of logos spoiling it a little - Sony's latest AW-series blends a huge, 16:9 display with desktop PC levels of performance.
The 17in AR-series was once the only desktop replacement in Sony's range, but now its considerable bulk is dwarfed by that of the new AW-range. Like Acer's equally sizable Acer Aspire 8920G, the VGN-AW11Z/B's hefty 3.67kg frame conceals a huge, full-HD 18.4in display.
We are a little disappointed by the Sony Vaio AW11Z/B's screen. It's a gloss screen, so it won't work well under studio lighting, and it's rather oversaturated before calibration - though not as much as Asus's overstimulating G71V.
Sony VAIO VGN-AW11M/H DVD Drive Sony VAIO VGN-AW11S/B DVD Drive
As with other Sony laptops, the keys protrude through individual holes in the chassis, and we found it both functional and stylish.
The Sony also excels when it comes to features, offering the largest amount of storage space for your media collections. You'll find twin 320GB hard drives in place, giving 640GB of storage, and there's a rewritable Blu-ray drive, letting you back files up to blank 25GB Blu-ray discs.

Sony Vegas Pro 11 Review
Sony announced Vegas Pro 11 on September 9, 2011, and it was released on October 17, 2011. Updated features include GPGPU acceleration of video decoding, effects, playback, compositing, pan/crop, transitions, and motion. Other improvements are to include enhanced text tools, enhanced stereoscopic/3D features, RAW photo support, and new event synchronization mechanisms.

Vegas Pro 11 can use your system's graphics card instead of its CPU to accelerate certain playback and rendering functions. Altogether, 36 video effects and 10 transitions, as well as output rendering, are GPU-accelerated; in contrast, Vegas Pro 10 accelerated a single function.

Sony Vegas Pro 11 Highlights
- Professional Video Editing Software
- GPU-Accelerated Effects & Rendering
- Sony VAIO VPCSA3Z9R/T blu-ray drive, Sony VAIO VPCSA3S9R/XI blu-ray drive
- Stereoscopic 3D Editing
- Blu-Ray Authoring with DVD Architect Pro
- Unlimited Audio Tracks & 5.1 Mixing
- Dolby Digital Professional Encoder
- Titler Pro for 3D Titles
- XDCAM, NXCAM, AVCHD, RED & 4K Support
- Support for RAW Photo Files & DSLR Video
- 64-Bit & 32-Bit OS Support
- internal dvd drive Sony Blu-Ray Drive Sony VAIO VPCSA2Z9R/BI blu-ray drive
BOTTOM LINE
A powerful video editor takes great strides with GPU acceleration, but it needs to speed things up even more to compete with Adobe Premiere Pro.
PROS Reams of effects, with per-parameter keyframing
Flexible new titler
Effective GPU acceleration
CONS Still not as fast as Premiere Pro
Some new effects not GPU-accelerated

Sony Vaio VPCS11V9E/B doesn't turn on & Blu-Ray Drive
Sony Vaio VPCS11V9E/B Doesn't turn on.
I have an issue with my Vaio VPCS11V9E/B. (Sony Vaio VPCS11V9E/B Specs: CPU Family Intel Core i5 Processor Number 520M CPU Speed 2.4 GHz L2 Cache 3 MB Chipset Manufacturer Intel Chipset Model HM55; Total Hard Disk Size 500 GB Number of Hard Disks 1 Hard Disk Size 500 GB Hard Disk Speed 5400 RPM Hard Disk Interface Serial ATA; Optical Drive Optical Drive Type DVD; Sony VAIO VPCS11M9R/B blu-ray drive ) It won't turn on. Power button keeps flashing green (battery light turns orange when I press power button ).
Also CAPS, NUM and SCROLL LOCK lights are flashing, but nothing else happens. As if it had hybernated, except that it not :)
So far I have taken it apart, replaced thermal paste as it was pretty much dried out. Put it back together carefully - to no avail.
Even won't start even if the battery is out.

I know the AC adapter is good as I've tried it on another Vaio and it works.
Would really appreciate if anyone who recognizes the symptoms could share their experience and possible solutions to the problem.

Solutions: Check the clock battery. If it is dead the computer will not start. You can buy them at your local Radio Shack. They look like a watch/fob battery.
