Sony Vaio S VPCSB26FG is now selling at 10K less (Php44,999)



The Sony Vaio S is the companies mainstream business laptop. The VPCSB26FG model is the entry level Vaio S. Featuring a 13.3-inch (1366 x 768 pixel) resolution screen and weighing in at just 3.8 pounds, it is large enough to be used as a primary laptop or for hours of long use and light enough for frequent carry. The Sony Vaio S weighs 0.8 pounds less than it primary competitor, the 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro. This puts the Vaio S in between the weight of a MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, while providing an optical drive and discrete graphics.

The other specifications are:

  • Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 64-bit
  • Intel® Core i5-2410M Processor 2.30 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.90 GH
  • 4GB DDR1333 RAM
  • 500 GB SATA Hard Drive
  • DVD/RW
  • AMD Radeon HD 6470M and Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 512MB dedicated memory
  • 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 port
  • HDMI out
  • Card and memory stick readers
  • Fingerprint scanner 
  • Rated at up to six hours battery life




The price of the entry level Vaio S has been dropping drastically as of late. The previous model was priced Php59,999. Two months ago, the updated model was released with a faster processor and larger hard drive with the price being reduced to Php54,999. Now, the price is down to a amazing Php44,999.


At Php44,999 it is priced all 17K below the price of the entry level 13-inch MacBook Pro. The current selling price is so low it can now compete even with the Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820T. The  3820T is still 7K cheaper, but the Vaio S has the advantage of discrete AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics, 2GB more RAM and an optical drive.

  2. I am not sure with this particular unit, but in general you can expect an additional 6-10% if you pay cash. Some prices are zero interest prices and you can also expect a discount if you pay cash or do a straight payment with a credit card.

  4. At 60K I felt this was a better deal than a 13-inch MacBook Pro, but it was largely ignored by the market. At its current price, it is a steal.

  6. I would probably go with the Viao S or one of the 15-inch MacBook Pro's because of the discrete graphics.

  9. The Acer 4830TG has a bigger hard drive, larger screen and Nvidia Graphics.The Sony has more RAM, weighs less and has better build quality. I would go with the Sony.
