Advantages: Stylish, quick
Disadvantages: If you are a windows user, it takes some getting used to.

...seminar. I really reccomend it. Apple tend to focus more on style but in this product they have really gone into the actual functionality of this product. It runs really fast and the best thing you can do with it, is run multiple operating systems on it. So if you fancied working on a windows ran computer for a while then you could do so with ease. You will not get bored. ... Read review

Advantages: Good for office work, good battery life
Disadvantages: not so great for media

I had the model down from this one, so i cant review it specifically, but this model was purely an upgrade from the predeccessor, and my girlfriend sells this at her work, a well known PC superstore, there is a big interest apparently, and she reckons its brilliant, good value for money, and far superior to the one before. Plus point is a great battery life, and good for office type work such as word documents, powerpoint presentations, and excel ... Read review

Advantages: Very good spec and good performance with LONG battery life
Disadvantages: Only a 15" screen, very bad audio speakers

...and OneNote, and all the Toshiba products for notebooks, such as Wireless Diagnoser etc. The CD writer is very good, it's 24X, which is fairly fast for a notebook, and it's CW-RW. I upgraded this to DVD-W, as it only came as a DVD-Rom when I bought it, and it's 4X. I haven't had any problems with the drive since I bought this. However, this does come with XP Pro, which is bloody good, working really well with Pentium M. There are a lot of extra Toshiba ...
...exactly how you want it. I upgraded the harddrive space to 60Gb from 40Gb, and I would recommend this if you play games, edit photos, and like to generally need a lot of space. The built in laptop speakers are EXTREMELY tinny, so if you listen to a lot of music I would recommend buying some USB speakers. I wish this had a few more USB ports, but you can always buy a external plug-in external USB ports. You can also buy a bluetooth dongle to solve ... Read review

Advantages: core duo processor, quick startup
Disadvantages: unbelievably square screen, thick and heavy

Since my brother bought it in september i have used it a lot so... The shape of the screen is retarded, its too square, it needs to be more wide and the screen quality is less than hoped for a laptop which is quite new. It is fast though which is good since its a laptop and its core duo processor is brand new on the market so it is capable of doing quite a few things at once and does not freeze. It is prone to freezing on the internet, and when ...
...doesnt help either so you have to turn it off manually. The cd/dvd drive is up to standard and is fast. You can also burn data cd's and movies because the laptop comes with a program which can make movies. It doesnt have a memory card slot so that isnt very good for a new laptop, but it does have a laptop card slot. The battery uptime is over 2 hours which is great. It is very quick to start up and has a system restoration feature which can get ... Read review

Advantages: amazing lcd screen, large hdd
Disadvantages: slow when running several applications

Bought as a replacement for my old laptop, I was excited to own a vaio laptop - which by the looks of the demo from the shop i bought it was - was amazing. This wasnt a cheap purchase at £650 compared to other laptops on the market but i thought i would treat myself! vista was installed and when using lightly i was very impressed with the interface. that was until i decided to run more than 3 programmes concurrently which caused sufficient lag ...
...features off and run the OS in classic mode. I was also unimpressed with the speakers - I expected a lot more from a vaio laptop and was shocked that the maximum volume was like a whisper. The xblack lcd screen is amazing as well as the inbuilt wireless. A very easy pc to use from mediocre tasks but for software developers or programmers i would recommend something with more memory. Once you get around vistas interface! ... Read review
