However, none of them feature a touchscreen and the base unit of all 15-inchers is at least 3 millimeters higher.įull HD consumers for below 1000 Euros (~$1300) The following contenders at least have an advantage in gaming performance since they all sport a more or less powerful graphics card. But which ones should they be? Sony achieves the price advantage by omitting a dedicated graphics card ( processor-integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000) and using a low-cost TN screen. Also, Asus' ZenBook UX51VZ (1550 Euros, ~$2016), Vaio SV-S1511X9E/B (1300 Euros, ~$1691), Apple's MacBook Pro 15 Retina 2.3 GHz Mid 2012 (1950 Euros, ~$2536) and Samsung's 900X4C-A04DE (1500 Euros, ~$1951) non-touch models are not exactly what we would call inexpensive laptops.ĭue to its much lower price, we have to compare the Vaio SVT-1511M1E/S with competing laptops for below 1000 Euros (~$1300). HP's Spectre XT Touchsmart 15-4000eg (C1S43EA) featuring a Full HD touch IPS screen is a good example of the competition. This rouses curiosity seeing that the competition has touch models in this size available for prices starting at 1400 Euros (~$1821). Sony does not hesitate and equips its first 15.6-inch ultrabook with a multi-touch TFT, which is not only adequately bright but also features a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.
