Sony Portable Reader PRS-505

Advantages: Small
Disadvantages: slow..

...Ultra portable laptop, really impress with it. My brother got it a few months back, and the laptop is really good. A bit slow but the style and looks are really amazing. It has a 11.1inch screen which may be small for some people but for the laptop and its looks, it's really good. Its a really portable laptop, just bigger than A5 and i guarantee your that you wont be able to tell your holding a laptop. I've never seen anything which is so good as small as this laptop. Would recommend this laptop to anybody who wants to buy it and it's worth the money if your after the style and looks. But performance isn't really good. Thanks.... Read review

Advantages: size, appearance
Disadvantages: price, fiddly keyboard

...I bought the Sony N505SN for its portability - it is one of the smallest, lightest portables available, although not cheap (I paid roughly £1500 for my PII-400 model). I would say that it is probably a bit too 'girly' for most blokes - its a rather chic silver colour with purple highlights - although it is cool-looking. The key advantages are its weight (just over a kilogram) and dimensions - this really is a truly portable laptop. However, 'road warriors' would probably find it a bit fiddly, as the floppy and CD-ROM are both external, and most of the major port connections are accessed through a 'port adapter'. Sony, however,have given a lot of thought to making all these as sleek and light as possible. Battery life is pretty poor for the standard battery - just over an hour or so. I'd recommend coughing up for the extra life... Read review

Advantages: Size, Power, W-LAN included
Disadvantages: Docking Station

...It's just a lovely and delicious precious little notebook, the new VAIO 12" with included W-Lan Access. When I'm travellin I need nothing more than it and it works with a speedy Mobile Pentium 4 Processor. Even if i want to look a dvd or just listen to my magic gate Musicfiles on my memory stick which i downloaded with 64-times speed from my desktop before i went out. So it's a big byte for all people who are looking for real portable power and dont want to spend to much on design. Because of the price i did not bought the VAIO Z1 but can say I'm happy with my decision. By the Way I bought it at the new SONY Centre Galleria at Tottenham Court. What a delightful moment. Now i now why they are so expensive!... Read review
