A lean machine
Review of Toshiba Portege R500-100 - Core 2 Duo U7600 1.2 GHz - 12.1" TFT by

Advantages: Weight, battery, screen
Disadvantages: FIngerprint software
...power), and the keyboard. Toshiba has packaged the machine well, with a handy set of utilities, such as HDD protection (although this can be annoying when you're on a bumpy train - even if it is doing its job), the ConfigFree software (with its quick connect to different networks, wireless and Bluetooth connectivity), and power saving options. Switching between monitors and Digital TVs (if they are fitted with a PC connection) shows that the graphics ... ...although the Realtek audio mixer is basic. The touchpad drove me to distraction until I found how to turn it off while I typed - it's software is too clever by half and leads to the cursor jumping around the screen as you type. The big thing you need to be aware of is, paradoxically, using the fingerprint reader software for anything than basic passwords. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO USE IT TO PROTECT FILES. If there's a glitch that stops the TrueSuite software ...

Advantages: extremly portable
Disadvantages: possible the screen size
Sony VAIO TZ31MN/N
This sony VAIO TZ31MN/N is a new one not only from sony but also from there range of seriously ultra portable laptops. The features this has for a laptop of its size is great compared to any laptop and its also so portable its unbelievable it really is a technical persons dream.
There has recently been an increase in ultra portable laptops and even pc tablets too, and this is what this laptop can be used as seen as its that small. ... ...something that I will be reviewing soon is the asus EEE pc. This however doesn’t run on windows so is a downside for me and many others and also doesn’t have anywhere near the memory and hard drive this laptop has so this definitely wins that. The only thing is though this is a lot dearer which is something ill mention a little later on.
If I had to describe its looks in a few words I think id choose cool, sleek and elegant. It really ...

Top Marks for Top Spec Sony SZ
Review of Sony VAIO SZ61WN/C - Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz - 13.3" TFT by
sourcez
Advantages: Build quality, speed and screen
Disadvantages: Not so great graphics, No DVI
...look at.
* Vista + Sony = BAD.
* No media buttons?
*No DVI-D interface. Still uses dated VGA.
* The built in memory card reader only supports Sony Memory Stick Duo and Pro Duo now (although there's a plus too)
* Sony only put a 64MB 8400M GS in it; so below par graphics.
A break-down
Just going to go over everything I've thought of in the three months I've had this laptop using the ciao criteria:
Speed
This Vaio is fast. It's ... ...Windows Vista Home Premium. No Sony crap other than the utilities (without them the buttons won't work) and I've now got much more free memory. Sony also support Windows XP Professional and I considered changing to that; but they mention that some of the laptop's features won't work fully - including hard drive protection. That would put anyone who wants to use the laptop out without the HDD protection, which you might as well have!
The Hybrid Hard ...

VAIO WOW
Review of Sony VAIO N38Z/W - Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz - 15.4" TFT by
im_not_batman
Advantages: Performance, Style
Disadvantages: Price
I bought this lap top for use in conjuction with my webiste which I have been running for several years now and find it extremely good at the tasks I perform on it.
This laptop is stylish, modern and lightweight compared to my apple which sadly broke down.
The battery life, which I was advised was excellent for a machine of this stature, is really good which is important for me to keep track of orders and finance when away from my main PC.
I had ... ...the responsiveness of the mouse which, when it was new, was amazingly good.
It came pre-installed with Microsoft Word and all the other software you'd expect.
As I use specialist software for my work, this was installed with great ease and works a treat everytime.
I find it easy to attach peripherals and other such items when I need to and these too are really easy to install etc as per manufactuer's guidelines.
I have absolutely no regrets buying ...
