The Next New Toys - NetBooks With Solid State Drive! Comparing Sony VAIO Z520 to ASUS Eee PC 1000HE!

For some reason when people think of LCD monitor or TV, the biggie size ones are always more attractive and sexy compare to the small couch potato in the corner on the store. Unfortunately for laptop, things are going smaller as nanotechnology developed and became more popular. The new invention of man kind, NetBook, has been an astonishing catch for many workers, students, families and children as you can see them populated around cafes, campus, and even break rooms.
The major difference between the SSD (Solid State Drive) and a regular hard drive is the price and capacity vs. faster start up,faster reading time from the memory to the user interface, and reliability as the lack of moving parts almost eliminates the risk of mechanical failure. The disadvantages for SSD is the write cycle, which seems to runs out after 1,000 to 10,000 write cycle. SSD also requires more power since it has to be power-driven unlike hard disk can be turned off during operating.
Apparently Sony VAIO Notebook came out with N series before, but the pricey gadget was way too high for anyone to own one. Now with the Z series which comes with a full size keyboard and weight only 1.5lb, 1.33 GHz with 2GB RAM and a 60GB hard drive, competitions only exist for consumers shall look else where if the budget is limited.
The new VAIO Z520 comes with 3 different colors, an 8" monitor, and also built-in web cam brings more joy into life. Comes with Windows Vista Home edition, build-in blue tooth and 2 USB 2.0 ports available. Since the wireless N technology came out consumers have been complaining about the capability of their network card to connect with the allowed speed on the Wireless N. Well if you have a build-in Wireless B+G+N internal network card you shouldn't complaint anymore right?
