Great low-mid level laptop, for work, rest and play!

Advantages: Superfast, great design and nice-sized harddrive
Disadvantages: There are more advanced laptops out there. Price varies considerably.

...Here we have another great laptop by Sony and should that surprise anyone, considering that Sony are one of the most respected manufacturers of electronics in the world ? The Sony Vaio VGN-NS30E/W is a low-mid level laptop designed to fit the needs of most business and leisure users. To better illustrate the features, the pros and the cons I've split the review into sections for you................ APPEARANCE -------------------- This laptop is honestly gorgeous in its design. The white frame gives it a very crisp and clean look, much like an IPOD and makes you excited to see what it can do. Upon opening the laptop, you're greeted with a stunning screen with X-Black technology. This means that the black backgrounds, vivid colours of media players and photos look very deep and rich. Games, movies and applications all look...

Disadvantages: High Price Tag And Lack Of Blu-Ray Drive.

... Introduction I am a computer enthusiaist and a techie and currently am employed as a Software developer in Infotech Corporation.It has now been a month since when I visited the local sony showroom to find myself purchasing sony's slim and portable VAIO SR29XN/S.Although I left the shop being 700£ poorer but i did not mind this sudden economic change as I was carrying my future in my hands.The notebook is a bit expensive but I still made a buy as I wanted a slim,portable and powerful notebook that would be forming the elite class in bussiness or executive class of laptops. Portablity This is where the notebook is the one of the best performer.It was designed while keeping the concept of portablity in mind and i would say that Sony has done an excellent job producing a notebook just 2 KG and with a 13.3 Inches Screen...

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 CR Series VGN-CR21S/L

Quality laptop with an excellent specification for the price

Advantages: Light portable cheap laptop with a great spec.
Disadvantages: battery life isnt incredible

...First off, its a sony. So we know the build quality will be great for the price. Thats the thing with this laptop, it honestly feels like you are using something that cost 800 plus, not the 300-400 you can get this for. The rounded edges and light weight make this very portable. And there is an excellent selection of colors too. The keypad is excellent, with a gorgeous textured palm offering lovely wrist support. The LCD screen is clear and vibrant, with the whole display feeling a lot larger than its small size is. The 160GB hard drive is plenty of space for all but the most demanding users. Performance wise i never had an issue with this laptop. itunes, browsing the web, watching a movie, all at the same time even, didnt tax this laptop too much. Battery life is good. Nothing to write home about but still, it certainly lasts a good...

Review of Sony VAIO W Series VPC-W11S1E/W

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...

SUPER SONIC SONY VAIO NR10 LAPTOP

Advantages: DVD R/W, HIGH QUALITY, BEAUTY, GREAT VALUE
Disadvantages: DOES NOT MAKE COFFEE

...INTRO I've been using Laptops now for around ten years and must say they are improving beyond belief in every way. I've owned many brands of Laptops that include Dell, Compact, IBM, HP and a Toshiba (most recent), I have always loved the Laptop concept and will now review my new beloved Sony Vaio NR10 Laptop. LOOKING FOR A NEW LAPTOP As with any other products on today's markets there is usually stiff competition and as far as Computers go it's more competitive now than ever. I began to look for a new Laptop last month in the January sales, which is the best time in my opinion as there's often big mark downs on prices and bargains to be had. Now the funny thing is I've always been a big Sony fan in every way (especially Sony Trintron TV''s) but never owned a Sony Computer or Laptop, so Sony was at the top of my list to...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-NR10

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...

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

The 'size zero' netbook from Sony

Advantages: Mostly
Disadvantages: Price but read the review

...No doubt Sony is audacious, talk about their product pricing or targeting. If there was hint of doubt about the quality of their designers, the latest ultra slim, ultra thin ?size zero? design of Sony Vaio X will make their competitors gaze in astonishment and undoubtedly clear that hint of doubt. The mere slimness of Sony Vaio X will make the rest in the pack look ungainly overweight. It?s a netbook in true sense of it. It is the first notebook to wear Windows 7 operating system and add to that, though slightly, a higher spec processor and twice the RAM of its own contemporaries and leaves not only itself but other brands some length behind. It has been built with such master craftsmanship that it is not only durable but also meets the requirements for on-the-go connectivity. Sony Vaio X weighs amazingly low at 655 g and is packed...

Review of Sony Vaio X Series VPCX113KG

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...
