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 the brightness. That said, the standard of picture makes watching 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 installing any other software on the machine, i only have 63gb available.
The ram in the machine so far seems perfectly adequate, and the machine has coped with ease at running 3 or 4 programmes at the same time.

I am dissapointed with the battery life. Roughly speaking when running on battery i am using 25% of it per half an hour, as you can imagine, this wont really get you very far on a train, or in a meeting.

Also supplied with the box, is an SD card adapter, this also accepts two other types of memory cards, and allows you to put the card straight into the machine, a particuly useful feature i feel.

This is a notebook which i have no regrets in purchasing.
