In terms of design, if you "feel fooled", you would mistake the soft case with prominent wavy patterns made of polished aluminum plates, but in fact Sony used high-grade ABS plastic plastic. .

Inside, the color effect once again deceives the receiver's sense of space. You will feel that the NW120J keyboard is as wide as the Apple MacBook chiclet keyboard. The side cover is a silver frame with a light patterned touchpad with 2 separate mouse buttons. Because the keys are wide-spread, there is no room for separate number keys like the two models of the same size - HP G60 and Compaq Presario CQ60.

Above the keyboard is a loudspeaker strip with a row of 3 function keys and a power on / off button. These 3 keys are very useful: one to quickly launch the web browser, one to turn on / off the screen, and the other to turn on / off the speaker. The speaker system still has inherent disadvantages - low power, synonymous with weak volume.

Tucked into a thin silver edge is a 15.5-inch mirror screen, 16: 9 aspect ratio, resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, using Sony XBRITE-ECO technology, providing vibrant colors and color depths. Higher black and excellent image quality. But the shiny screen will make you dazzle when working in a bright place.
