Advantages: Good, Fast Laptop and Light weight Disadvantages: Not too sturdy
The Vaio S4M/S is a good laptop, offering good speeds, a decent amount of RAM and the classic good looks of most Sony products.
Howevr, i have found it to be a little unreliable sometimes, occasionally crashing. Also, it isn't too sturdy; don't drop it! Having said this though, these qualities are offset by the magnificent customer support that i have found from Sony.

MEMORY
DIMM1 supports 2GB max DDR2 400/533/667 and DIMM2 supports 1GB max DDR 266/333/400.
From the image, you may have already guessed this is a micro ATX board, so ...
