Sony has taken quite some time to get stuck in to the netbook market. With plenty of competition out there, an impressive showing is needed to mark yourself out from other models. The Sony Vaio VPCW12S1E/W promises an exemplary finish and studied design that aims to please in spite of a rather standard configuration. Sony is setting store by its X-Black screen, which it is clearly bigging up in the marketing blurb. Sony machines are usually well thought out and nicely finished. The W12 lives up to this rep with a high quality finish. The plastic is all matte, which we very much approve of. The plastic surface around the keyboard has a coating that resists marks and is agreeable to the touch. The screen hinges feel solid. The has small flat keys (13.5 x 12 mm). Typing is supple and comfortable with soft keys that react well. However, the size of the keys won't necessarily work for those with big fingers. The multi-touch has a fluid, rapid and precise glide. While we've seen better, this one is already pretty good. The right and left clicks are responsive and not too noisy. The image is very average. It lacks sharpness and only just gives enough fluidity. Colours are rather pale, which is probably due to a lack of luminosity.
