Sony VAIO CR21S/P Laptop

Advantages: Fast, looks good, comes in a variety of colours
Disadvantages: Expensive, mouse can sometimes play up

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I brought the laptop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had had so many problems from my previous laptop, although I had only had it for 2 years - but there were problems with it right from the beginning. It was really staring to be unreliable and crashing all the time, as well it being highly annoying, I couldn't afford to keep loosing my work all the time and I was just waiting for the day for it to finally completely pack up, so I decided to go on the internet and start looking around for a new laptop. Originally I was looking for the cheapest yet good one I could find. By chance I ended up on the Sony website and advertised on the home page was this Sony Vaio. I instantly fell in love with it, so decided to check it out. This Sony Vaio is part of the CR Series and there are 3 different laptops which come with 3...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-CR21S/L

best in 14.1" series, sony CR

Advantages: good processing speed with graphics memory
Disadvantages: battery life

...Sony Vaio CR31Z/R Sony has launched some luxurious notebooks since last couple of years, and the CR series from Sony became more popular in these days. Looks and feel are extremely good in this series. Sony has mainly targeted on solid looking notebooks with adequate features and latest technology also. In this series the new model Vaio CR31Z now in market with fully featured and configured. *** Here is again my discussion points will be its good features with advantages and disadvantages also. First of all I always use to target my first discussion on processor of any notebook, because it is more important in all features at all. So here is also a good processor we can see in this model with Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 with 2.4 GHz of clock speed. Front size bus speed is about 800 MHz and L2 cache size is 3 MB, in my opinion this...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-CR31Z/R

SONY SORTA DID IT

Advantages: High speed, SD card slot, Stylish Laptop
Disadvantages: Low Build Quality, Small screen

...BUILD QUALITY Sony Laptops are popular, and usually overpriced but they make some cutting edge technology in a stylish package. I run a business where laptops are a nesecsity and I am found replacing them after litlle more than two years and this laptop I can see replacing before then as the build quality is not the usual sony standard ( That you Pay for) instead its more like a style statement. The keyboard although large has small tiny keys that are difficult to type on and the finish close up looks alot worse than you should expect especially from sony I have nothing against functional, stylish laptops like the Apple MacBook Pro, as it has a highly sturdy alluminium build with high specifications. This is a good looking machine in red no doubt about it but the build quality in my opinion is lacking SCREEN Another thing about...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-CR19VN/B

sony vaio AR88E

Advantages: massive screen
Disadvantages: large.

...This laptop is the Sony VAIO AR88E. The laptop is made mainly for gaming, watching movies on and various other entertainment needs whilst not compromising the ability to do serious work on these as well. One thing that is compromised though is the portability, entertainment laptops are made to keep at home and not really to carry about with you all the time, so whilst the specification may look good, don?t expect one of these to be very portable. Its mainly black in colour however I like the design ho the screen top part comes over the bottom part of the laptop base slightly so that it gives a more cooler look to the laptop. The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 2gb which is the main reason this laptop runs so fast, also its intel core 2 duo T7700 which is one of the newest processors makes this laptop run so...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-AR88E

great laptop, great features

Advantages: fantastic features
Disadvantages: initial amount of ram

...Elements, Adobe Acrobat Standard, Sony SonicStage Mastering Studio, VAIO Edit Components, WinDVD for VAIO, Norton Internet Security (90 days subscription), Adobe Reader, VAIO Recovery Utility, Skype, Google Software Pack, Microsoft Office Ready 2007 (Trial) all included when you buy this laptop. This installed ram on this laptop is quite basic as it only has the average 1 gb of ram installed in it. Some people might think this is enough, although some, and probably most people, as I know I would defiantly want more ram in my laptop than this one has. However there is an upside, if this 1 gb isn’t enough for you, and it probably wont be then you can get it upgraded to a maximum of 2 gb of ram, this would dramatically increase the speed and performance of the laptop, well it should double the performance of the laptop so its something...

My Sony VAIO

Advantages: Quality Looking, Very Stylish, Great Speed!
Disadvantages: -

...Product: 15.4" screen Laptop Make: Sony, VAIO Features: XP, Service pack 2 Price: Varied This Sony VAIO Laptop is stylish, powerful, fast active, and easy to use, this laptop is exactly like the one I own. Mine is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with service packed 2, it has a 15.4" WXGA (1280x800) X-black LCD flat screen, and runs on 512MB DDR2 SDRAM (533 MHz). Even though, it's Windows XP, Its Vista capable as well; some of them I've seen are though. I can always rely on the Sony make; to me it has always been a top brand. I love the Intel Celeron M Processor 390; the processing speed is 1.70 GHz, which is the ideal speed for me. The hard disk drive is 80GB, which is quite suitable for the size. The Intel Graphics feature Media Accelerator 900 and comes with 128MB max, the graphics are outstandingly great, this is...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-FS515E

Converted to Sony Vaio

Advantages: Battery life, build quality, feels like a desktop pc
Disadvantages: Price

...This is my first Sony laptop, I am a happy man... I've had a Dell, Toshiba and an HP laptop all in the past 4 years or so, each developed faults or just became to slow to run the most basic of task's. We all know Laptops can not compare to desktop equivalents with even the most primary of tasking, this new Sony offering breaks that rule. The thing that first drew to me to the laptop was not only the Sony Vaio brand but it was also the design, its sexy! - Brushed silver effect and very thin. It's light and the screen is stunning, yes the thing you stare at 98% of the time this is powered up, something that most laptop manufacturers seem to not acknowledge, it is in fact very clear and bright. The keyboard layout seems a little strange upon first viewing, especially if you are used to most other brands. It is this minor redesign...

Review of Sony VAIO SR19VN

Sleek and Stylish Sony Vaio

Advantages: Great price for a Sony, Highly aesthetically pleasing
Disadvantages: Gets dirty extremely easily

...I have always wanted a Sony Vaio laptop; as far as I’m concerned, there is no laptop out there that comes anywhere close to being as aesthetically pleasing and stylish as the Vaio. In white, the Sony Vaio is by far the most attractive laptop on the market, and when I saw this moderately priced white Sony Vaio sitting there for the taking, I knew that it was something that I just had to own. Macbook’s are similarly styled, however I have always preferred the Windows operating system so for me, a Macbook was not a viable option. In the past, Sony have always priced themselves a bit out of the market by marking up their laptops at a higher cost than similar specification machines, however the VGN-N230 breaks with this tradition and has brought Sony well and truly into the budget laptop market which is great to see...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-N230

Sony VAIO

Advantages: LONG BATTERY LIFE AND GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.
Disadvantages: : NO GRAPHIC CARD.

...The Sony vaio is a device you can get for£ 500 or less. This is quite a notebook and it is very competence and efficient. It has a very stylish looks and has as very good graphics in terms of picture quality and brightness. I got mine some couple of months ago and I have not gotten any problems with it. The Sony product has 15.4 X -black LCD and that makes the picture a very sharp and bright one. It does all the function you might require a laptop to do. The Sony notebook has variety of features that makes it a fabulous functioning laptop and it is capable of running any software that is available. Its graphics card type is the one board graphic type. This is a machine that has an upgrade value because some people might be thinking that the price might reflect the product quality but that is not true. One thing that I like...
