Sony VAIO CR42Z/R
Analysis
I good peice of hardware bundled in this laptop. i used this and came to know the actual speed and comfort with which one can work on it. Sony started 14.1" display size which neither too small like 12" display nor too big like 15" display. 14.1" series and 13.1" series is an ideal for the frequent traveler. As this dose not burden your shoulder with its excessive weight. The processing speed is excellent when we see its peers. The look and feel of the piece is good enough to get attention of any passerby.
* The display is good as the high contrast and brightness make the feel of the display good.
* Memory capacity of this laptop is extremely great. with Hard disk space. Ram space and DVD R/w
*Memory card slots are placed excellently and support variety of card types. It also has sony flagship Magic Gate for Memory Stick Pro duo.
*Integrated 1.3 MP camera allows you to do video conffrencing with such an ease that i loved the whole idea of video confrencing for the first time. you no longer need to hang the bulky camera on your laptop that scratches the body of your laptop and makes it ugly.
*Sensitive touch pad allows you to scroll the window without using the arrow key. various other shortcuts can also be set with the touch pad. sift keyboard also allows you to type with such an ease.
*WiFi Bluetooth ability allows to access the net any where on the go. and allow to share your stored work to be shared with others.
*Battery backup is a bit on the lower side as also the performance of the disk writer.
conclusion
Over all there is a good value for money one spends on this laptop. baring few things the piece is good and worth.
