Expert review by : Michael Browne (techradar.com)

Sony VAIO VGN-AR71J review

 

A large and stylish machine, but it's starting to look a little dated

Bright screen ; Robust build

Low performance ; Awkward keyboard and mouse button layout

Tough, but ultimately this laptop needs a redesign

Sony VAIO VGN-AR71E 17in Laptop

 

Robust, good quality screen and sound. Sufficient but not over complex connections and features.

It is big and heavy but it does have the 17 inch screen that we required. Transportable rather than portable.

It does everything I expected it would do and more.

As with all laptops the battery life is limited to just over one hour.
