A very portable pink notebook with 11.6 inch and Dual-Core processor
The Sony VAIO VPC-YB13KX/P is a good ultraportable notebook if you don’t want to spent more than 500 dollar but need something more powerful than a netbook. It offers a good keyboard with smaller keys. This should not be much of a problem if you don’t have really big fingers. The touchpad and overall build quality is good as well. With a weight of 3.22 lbs it is very light and appropriate for daily mobile use. The battery lasts up to 5 hours when surfing in the internet via W-LAN.
Display and speakers
The nice and bright display of the pink Vaio VPC-YB13 is good for watching movies. However, the display finish is glossy which makes it hard to see whats on the screen in direct sunlight. If you are working in the shade it should be usable outside. The resolution of 1366 x 768 is quite good for a laptop of that size and allows to watch HD-Ready movies in full details.
Technical details and performance
- CPU: AMD Dual-Core E-350 (2 x 1.6 GHz)
- Video card: AMD Radeon HD 6310
- 2 GB of RAM and a 320 GB Hard Drive
- 3 x USB, 1 x HDMI, W-LAN, Gigabit Ethernet, Webcam
- Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit
The AMD dual-core CPU is nothing special but enough for normal tasks like surfing or watching movies.
The Radeon HD 6310 graphic card is powerful enough for watching HD videos and even some older games. It is more power than you will find in netbooks or other laptops with integrated graphics card. Moreover the laptop does not get hot even when stressed over longer periods of time. So using the pink notebook on your laps will never be a problem. The Sony VAIO VPC-YB13 has got all important ports (HDMI and 3xUSB) and even a card-reader but according to the small size has no DVD-drive included.

The pink Sony VAIO VPC-YB13KX/P is available at Amazon.com for under 500 $.
I found that hard shell case for the 13 inch Macbook very appealing. It does not only make you apple look much nicer but also offers additional protection against scratches. That is good if you want to resell your Macbook someday and get a new one.
If you want the keyboard of your Apple laptop pink as well there are silicone cover skins that you can put in it. That looks great when lit of your keyboard is and shines through the skin. The keyboard skin is as well a good protection against dirt on your keyboard. The skin can easily be removed and cleaned under flowing water. After it is dry it can be placed on the keyboard again. That’s really good think as you keyboard normally is the home of a lot of bacteria.
