Sony Vaio VGN-C2S/G

...am slightly biased towards the Sony brand. Having purchased their products in the past, I have found them not to be particularly competitive with regards to price, but certainly well built and durable. I purchased my Sony for a little over £950 on-line and so far I believe that I have had good value for money. To start with I will list the specifications for all who are interested, those who are not please skip to the part below for a more practical ...
...and stable. I use my Sony for my work and regularly have Excel spread sheets, Outlook, Internet, and two or three programmes running simultaneously. I have yet to have any programme freeze or lock up on me, and the laptop does cope extremely well under high demand. If required the memory can upgraded to 4Gb. The only thing I would say is, although this machine is termed "A Laptop", I wouldn't recommend actually placing it there for any length of ...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-C2S/G

...Dell XPS 13" and this Sony Vaio C2Z/B. After much deliberating I decided to go for the Sony. This turned out to be a brilliant decision as this has turned out to be a great replacement for my IBM. On first impressions the laptop looks very professional and could easily pass as a business laptop if you didn't want to spend the £1000+ that sony's business laptops cost. The case is all black on the outside with a stylish brown trim around the edge of ...
...but I have spoken to Sony about this and they say that it is the norm with this laptop. I have since started putting the laptop on a wooden board whenever I use it and this has definately helped. The other problem (if you could call it that) is the sound levels that the laptop gives. I watch a lot of videos and films on my laptop and like to be able to lie/sit with the laptop a fair distance from me. This was never a problem with my old laptops ...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-C2S/G

I recenlty purchased this small but mighty notebook and have been nothing short of impressed at its capabilities. As an avid fan of XP i did find the transition to Vista (the home premium version comes on this machine) a little diffcult, but with a bit of perseverance it all came quite easily very soon. The quality of the screen is exceptional, the crisp monitor allows for easy working, with very little strain on the eyes, alebit once you have adjusted ...
...a dvd or internet television on this machine as impressive as some of the HD televisions that i have seen recently. The audio quality is also exceptional. The keyboard is of a good size, particuly for such a relativly small machine, and allows working for a conisderable period of time not such a strain as perhaps you would imagine with the small size of the notebook. The machine came with a 100gb hard drive, yet what still puzzles me is that before ...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-C2S/G

...and to join their clubs, Sony did not do this which was good! The touchpad mouse is one of the best i've used as it doesn't get stuck and is big enough. I took it away with me and didn't find it too heavy to be carrying around in my luggage all day because it is a nice size and weight. Overall, very good! ...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-C2S/G

The notebook has been trustworthy and fast, since purchase i have not noticed any major flaws. There are many options towards power saving and performance. I bought this notebook with Windows XP previously installed, i then got an option to express upgrade, i accepted and noticed slight lag in performance, but still fantastic worthy performance. The laptop has a very stylish dark, solid look, it feels comfortable, to lean wrists upon. The screen ...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-C2S/G

I spent a long time looking for a truly portable laptop that would still have a large enough keyboard for heavy duty use, and a large enough screen for watching DVDs, which none of the ultra-portables seemed to offer. Final shortlist was this Vaio and the Apple MacBook. Very pleased I chose the Vaio. Extremely good looking, light enough, full size keyboard, and a great screen. Real upside is a very strong case. Mine was squashed in a bag, and ...
...bent it back and it functions perfectly. Downsides are really to do with Vista, you need to download a patch to ensure the computer will come out of hibernation when you open the screen, and when coming out of hibernation it seems to lose the sound drivers. Also, if you are using it in bed then you need to rest it on something, it gets very hot otherwise! ...
