A fully featured VAIO notebook for under £500. This has to be worth looking into. Sony VAIO Notebooks are famous for being industry leaders but also for being overpriced. Now this Laptop has the quality and stylish look as do all VAIO's but not the price tag. With a 15.4" X-Black LCD you are garunteed to have a great picture whatever applications you may be using. However it only has on-board graphics and not a standalone card like most other VAIO's this obviously helps bring down the price but does affect the overall functionality of the product. But it is nice to see Sony bring out a notebook at an affordable price that does everything the majority of laptop users require. With a standard 2 GB RAM and a Dual Core T2330 1.6Ghz Processor This is definitely not a low end machine.
Capable of running the most intensive programs available today. The RAM is also upgradeable to 4GB should yo require. with a 200GB Hard Drive you will not be short of storage space for all your photos, videos etc..
This notebook has great connectivity including 4x USB 2.0 Sockets and 1x Firewire connection.

Battery Life is around 3 hours which is pretty good for a laptop of this price and spec, the HP equivalent has about 1.5 Hours.

This Notebook runs Windows Vista Premium Which includes Media Centre so this laptop is a home thetre machine. It also is Ofice 2007 ready, this means you get Office installed and have a 90 day trial, after this trial you must purchase a license to activate the product.

With a 1 year warranty you should always be carefull and i would advise to look at warranty extension plans for piece of mind.

Overall This is a great value good looking laptop with good features and connectivity. I would definitely reccomend this to someone who is not interested in gaming or graphic design.

Great value product.
