Advantages: Looks extremely sexy, quick and reliable with the right protection
Disadvantages: Comes with very little "worth having" software

My father bought this computer as a family computer. Since buying it we have run into a few problems with it. The screen developed a frozen pixle. (a pixle that only appears in one colour). Also the computer came with no anti adware/anti spyware software what so ever. After only a few months of having it, the machine had to be formatted(everything cleared off the hardrive) this caused me and my brother to loose work and we had to reload all of our ...
...can see a small flap at the bottom of the tower, when this is folded down there are lots and lots of different card slots, very useful when your family has 3 or four digital cameras. This is a great computer although with your money you are paying a lot for the fact its Sony. Don't make the same mistake as me, make sure that before you do anything on it, get as much anti spyware and anti adware on there as you can. I would recommend ad-aware and ... Read review

Advantages: Looks fantastic and is very quiet
Disadvantages: speakers supplied aren't great

We purchased our Sony Vaio PCV- RX203 about 2 and a half years ago, but purchased a top of the range one. As a result it had much the same spec as the ones on sale now, eg, DVD-RW, 512MB RAM, 120GB hard disk, pentium 4 2GHz, and we paid about £1200 for it. The reason I am choosing to review it now is because I felt it would be useful to those of you out there looking to buy a PC, to know how reliable this PC has been. I am an IT consultant by trade, ...
...disks and other components fail on PC's supplied by other large brand names! The only thing to break on our PC, in 2 and a half years, is the speakers that were supplied with it, and as our PC gets used for at least 6 hours a day, gets software and hardware beta tested on it, and has been moved house in a van with no suspension, that's not bad going! The machine itself is very nice to look at, and runs very quietly compared to similar machines by ... Read review

Advantages: endless
Disadvantages: price and also not future proof

Excellent, I've owned my sony vaio rs144 for 7 years and its an amazing machine still. my experiences have been excellent all through, the standard speakers were satisfactory when i first aquired the pc but over time they broke through use and as i got older i wanted better speakers anyway, the graphics card is a little old but can play far cry and half life games really well. i now have more ram the installed ram from purchase is 256mb but i now ...

Advantages: Screen, Webcam, amazing processer speed
Disadvantages: With mine the Wifi can sometimes be an issue

...I bought it from the Apple store in London, where I must say the customer service is amazing and the staff had an answer to all my questions! Before this Imac I had an Ibook G4 which was the best thing since sliced bread, thats what made me want one of these. The IMac is all an all in one computer, all the bits are in the screen with only the keyboard and mouse separate. This makes it great for people with not so much space. This computer is very ...
...round, the whole unit is a sort of brushed aluminum colour and my favorite bit is the small brushed aluminum keyboard, which has nice sized buttons and a nice feel to it (ie not big and chunky keys) The IMac loads up in no time, unlike a Windows machine and within less than say 30 seconds you are ready to go. The screen is Massive, bright and very clear, and the graphics can easily handle online TV and gaming, I use mine to play World of Warcraft ... Read review
