Mini Laptops Review: Sony Vaio VPC-YA1V9E/B (11.6")

Sony has created a model of the real blood of 11.6 inches for consumers.

However, the TFT though, is of little use, the brightness of the media which is always annoying reflections in bright sunlight. And this is the main drawback, since they are not allowed to trade up by 11.6 inches.
