Case Mate Tough For Sony Xperia S Review

After the Incipio case not satisfying my needs, I decided to get the Case Mate Tough. This is the revieww for it.

Design

The Case Mate Tough is a 2 layer case. The inner layer is a rubber case which should protect from a bit of shock. The outer layer is a hard plastic case which should protect from falls. The outer layer has a very nice feel to it. All ports and buttons are accessible with this case. The power button, volume button and camera button work very well with this case. The case has a lie on the table design

Protection

Due to the 2 layer system, this case will protect the Sony Xperia S very well. I dropped my phone with the case a lot of times and it survived very well. The lay on the table design protected the phone screen. This is defenitly the most protective case for the Sony Xperia S.

Conclusion

This case is a really good case for the Sony Xperia S. Providing extreme protection and good design. Though this case does come with a big price tag. At 30 AUD, it is one of the most expensive Sony Xperia S case

Sony Vaio E11 Review

The Sony Vaio E11 is a 11.6 inch notebook costing $650 Australian dollars. It is equipped with Windows 8.

Design

The Sony Vaio E11 is a really nice looking notebook. It comes in 2 colours, black and white. The notebook’s base is longer than its base. It comes with a very nice flat keyboard which works extremely well with fast typing and gaming. It has a small touchpad which can be cumbersome to use. The touchpad doesn’t actually have separate buttons so the whole touchpad can be pressed down. You can adjust which part of the touchpad is left click and right click. The touchpad allows multi-gestures.

The notebook contains 3 3.0 USB ports, SD card slot, Ethernet cable, HDMI slot, AV Out, headphone jack and microphone jack.

The thickness of the notebook and the ports: 

The notebook is quite heavy for its size, but this might be due to its 500 gigabyte hard drive.

Performance

The Sony E11 is equipped with a AMD E2-1800 Dual Core Accelerated Proccesor with integrated AMD RadeonHD 7340M. The processor is a slower type of processor, but the graphics card is really nice. 

I didn’t have many games to test with so I tested with Minecraft. The Sony E11 did really well at normal render distance, all particles and fancy graphics. At far render distance however, it could not cope and started lagging. Also a sidenote: Minecraft is hard to play with the touchpad.

Conclusion

The Sony E11 is a really nice budget computer at $650 AUD. Although it has a slower processor, the graphics card is really nice. It will cope with all your everyday use and some games. It should be able to do all 2D games fine and some 3D games
