    Advantages Advantages Light, looks great, and it's cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Outdated, low specs, poor battery performance.

    Laptops are in high demand by students, professionals and home users. The specifications available today are truly amazing, but they can carry a high price tag. The Sony Vaio PCG-N505X is a stylish compact laptop launched in 1998. It weighs a mere 1.2 kg, with a 10.4" TFT screen. With dimensions of 25.9 cm x 20.8 cm x 2.2 cm the laptop looks sublime. The laptop casing is silver with a blue battery department at the back of the laptop (where the lid folds). There are several slots on the left hand side of the device, which include; a memory slot, AC adapter, USB (just the one port), microphone ... more

    Advantages Advantages Ultra-portable, Magnesium alloy casing, Runs XP no problem!, cost just £90!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life is about 1 hour, Low spec by today's standards

    I'm a big fan of electrical gadgets and was browsing ebay when I came across a Sony Vaio N505X Ultra-Portable notebook going cheap - I paid just £90 for mine which was in pristine condition and included the official Vaio external CD-Rom drive, external floppy drive, port replicator, power supply, upgraded to 128MB of ram and upgraded 30GB hard drive. I already have a perfectly adequate desktop computer but thought it would be nice to make more use of my wireless router. I personally think that the majority of laptops are rather bulky, the N505X, however, is one of the smallest laptops I have ... more

    Advantages Advantages size, appearance

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    This is one of the best pocket PC’s on the market due to it being so expensive and packed with more features than ever. It is slim compact and elegant with one of the best TFT Screens around. It is also so thin. The only Cons are that the battery life is not so long and the system few ports with lots of external drives, which are so costly. Internet access is so rapid it is shocking and can also work with an IR port. For anyone trying to prove he is pure class. ... more
