subject: Sony Vaio Series Laptop Computer [print this page] Sony bring innovation and style to the world of laptops. Renowned for taking an innovative approach to product development, they have produced stylish, compact laptops aimed at the home and business user who wants to combine the latest functionality with fashionable good looks.
As expected, you have the power, battery charge, HDD access, memory stick access, wireless card and optical disk access light on the front side of the laptop, in parallel with the touchpad. Right next to these lights you will find the wireless on/off switch. The optical drive is located in front of the laptop and this makes access more difficult then when it was places on the left or right side of the laptop. You get your usual USB ports, a FireWire port, D-SUB port, a type II PC card slot and the headphone and microphone ports. In case you were wondering where the Ethernet port is, try looking under that flap over there and you will find it, together with a modem socket. Since most of the time it's what's inside that counts, we must tell you, the components have surprised us as we did not expect good specs in a slim laptop. You get a 1.6 GHz Pentium M processor, 512MB of RAM, an nVidia GeForce 6200 graphics card plus 60GB of available disk space. It's pretty good for a laptop with its price (and it's not just any laptop, it's a Sony VAIO) even though you won't be playing the top of the games, it's still going to help you get around and get things done. The battery will stay alive for about 3 hours under normal Windows applications but you can also enjoy a good movie, with more than 2 hours of battery life.
