Advantages: Great range of software, Excellent for media
Disadvantages: Heavy

...When i was looking for a laptop I wanted something that would last, something that was affordable, and something that offered all my needs. I searched for a long time, never finding anything with the specifications I needed, all offered what seemed to be uncompatible features. Then I came across the Sony Vaio range, the K315S, and immediately I was drawn to it. The quality of the on board speakers, the crispness of the 'X-black LCD' and the power of it, supporting a 3.06Ghz processor and a 'Mobility Radeon 9200 64mb'. This allows me to play some of todays demanding games such as 'Doom3', and has now become my favoured choice for watching Dvds. I found my Sony vaio to be excellent for my work, allowing me to connect my sony memory stick directly into the unit itself allows easy access to my photos and movies, with the adobe software...

Advantages: 17" Screen, Awesome Specs and a built in webcam
Disadvantages: Too much bundled software and it's also quite heavy.

...In this review I'm going to be covering Sony's great VAIO AR51E laptop computer. Specifications- 9.5/10 The AR51E is a high spec laptop suitable for gaming, business, graphics, and just about anything, it has a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo T7250 processor, 2GB Random Access Memory, a massive 200GB Internal Harddrive, and a NVIDEA GeForce 8400M GT, and just to top it all off, a huge 17" TFT X-Black LCD Screen, with full HD and a 1440x900 Resolution, which makes for awesome viewing if you play games or watch movies. It also has 2 USB Ports, and a DVD+RW Double Layer Reader. Design- 9/10 This laptop has a sleak slimline design, with a black matte finish, and the silver VAIO sign on the back, the screen is very reflective, which looks great, and thankfully in this case doesn't affect the screen when its on. Software- 9/10 As usual Sony... Read review

Advantages: Great for business and personal use
Disadvantages: Battery life

...Myself and a colleague recently bought two Sony Vaios and we are both very satisfied with them. There were no problems running the computer out of the box, no problems installing any of the software we wanted; we even made a new partition and got Redhat running smoothly out-of-the box also. The physical computer is solid, as i've dropped mine a few times, bent some sockets but everything still works fine. I had a problem with the battery - i happen not to use the battery very much, though left it inside the computer, hence it was always being topped up. Eventually the battery died completely, though i'm not sure if it was a one off or something to be wary of. My colleague didn't have the same problem. Since buying the Vaio i've developed a liking for my particular laptop and would reccommend those investigating Sony's for purchase... Read review

...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 look...
