Sony Vaio's are well known for being the business types laptop, being expensive and packed with business type programmes and softwares, and especially hardware allowing people to comunicate and connect with the easiest of use. For example connecting to the internet or connecting a USB couldn't be easier on a laptop than it is on a Viao.

Advantages: Good Performance
Disadvantages: Not easy to use as a programmer

Having bought this product second hand I feel I can objectively give my opinion on how well this product performs, as I was not biased at the point of sale by its looks, or features. As a web developer I use computers almost constantly so ease of use is of utmost importance, and unfortunately for me I do not find this a user friendly piece of equipment. Let me start with the positives. It is a nice size and although quite heavy it is of good build ...
...can be viewed from an angle which is ideal for presenting to a client. Performance wise it is pretty quick and can handle several heavy weight applications open at once, i.e. Photoshop, Illustrator & Dreamweaver. However I expected a higher resolution than 1024 x 768 for such a high priced business machine. (Any other web developers out there will know that it simply is not big enough). Also because it is quite small in size the keyboard layout ... Read review

Advantages: Fast, great spec, looks good, light
Disadvantages: None so far (only had it a week though)

...It is the second Samsung I've had and I love the layout of the keyboard etc - so much better than Dell, which are a bit functional (though good value for money). It's quite small which makes it light and easy to port about, and the screen is big enough, though obviously if you want a bigger screen there are loads out there larger. I expect the smallish screen improves the battery life. The actutal viewing on the screen is good though - it is one ... Read review

Advantages: Cheapest tablet PC by far, feature packed, HP quality & support.
Disadvantages: Keyboard delicate. HDD slow. Vista.

For the price, this is a very nice piece of kit overall. The touchscreen works with the stylus or a finger, which is unusual for a tablet. The unit feels reasonably robust, with the exception of the keyboard, which is not brilliant. Losing a key is way too easy, while reattaching the key when you find it is way too hard. The hinge & pivot mechanism of the screen feel nice & solid. The back of the screen (top of the closed unit) feels like it gives ...
...from Staples and shipped both with a 4 and a 6cell battery, the latter making the laptop rise at the rear - good in keyboard mode, a bit awkward in tablet mode. Nonetheless handy for being able to travel without the power brick. The multimedia features are good (both HP's Quickplay and MS Media Center), with a nice front end and an IR remote, which is a bit fiddly, but stows away nicely in the expresscard slot when not in use. The speakers are of ... Read review

Advantages: lightweight, great look, display, bluetooth, speed.
Disadvantages: pricey, user manuals aren't great.

My brother recommended this to me and i suppose in the past he has given me good advice and yet again he did i love this laptop it really makes use of its generation x black screen the picture is amazing! to me its one of the best notebook laptops around. The ease of use is great too the keyboard is good too. a real issue on most laptops for me was the touchpad they can be down right frustrating however the touchpad on this notebook is responsive ...
...able to be in control of my own laptop! It has bluetooth too which is great as you don't have to fiddle around with external USB bluetooth dongles it makes for fast and effective transfer from your phone or any other bluetooth device which is really good if you cant be bothered with cables. The battery is lithium ion like most laptop batteries and you can power the laptop from the wall. The laptop looks phenomonal and flaunts a 13 inch screen its ... Read review
