Sony NWZ-B100 review: Sony NWZ-B100

Sony NWZ-B100

The Sony NWZ-B100F's fitness-friendly design, high-fidelity sound quality, built-in USB plug, and FM tuner make it an ideal MP3 player for active people.

The Sony NWZ-B100F can't handle photos, videos, line-input recording or Audible audiobooks. Also, the three-line display is difficult to read, battery life is only average, and the cap for the USB plug is easy to lose.

If you're looking for an affordable, utilitarian MP3 player to take on the road or to the gym, the Sony NWZ-B100F is a solid solution with awesome audio quality.

Sony VAIO B review

Sony VAIO B

Solid performance; quality keyboard; smart design; highly configurable; good support.

On the expensive side; lacks long battery life; fewer security options than on other systems we tested; no Bluetooth; warranty upgrades are pricey.

The Sony VAIO VGN-B100B02 offers all the features and performance a business user needs, but it lags on battery life, and it isn't the cheapest option available.

After nearly a decade of delivering laptops focused on entertainment, gaming, and high-end graphics, Sony turns its attention to business buyers, with the new VAIO B series. At 5 pounds and with a variety of processors, as much as 100GB of hard drive...

Sony VAIO B100B01 Intel Centrino 1.5GHz

This Sony VAIO B-series laptop is a fully featured notebook laptop with almost everything you could need from a new laptop.

A fantastic deal considering all you get with it, and at 5.1 lbs is light enough to be carried around with you everyday.

Good notebook

I have always loved Sony notebooks and will continue to use them. Always buy more than you think you need and as much as you can afford. Notebooks, in general, are NOT upgradable and you should consider this when buying one.

powerful laptop; nice screen; excellent keyboard

only problems are ones inherent to notebooks

Beautiful Monitor

For doing tons of Photoshop in the field the monitor on this thing ishard to beat for the money. the over all quality of build seem very good. DVD's are great on this thing.

Beautiful Screen. Fantastic color quality. Deep blacks wide screen ; Light ; love the case material ; decent hd space ; clean, neat design ; fast enough for my use ; integrated realtech is ok, couldbe better...could be worse

Power chord is on the side. annoying when using it on my LAP ; memorystick card cover will not stay closed ; slow hd...very slow ; only 512mb ram ( I upgraded mine to 2gb and improved performance beyond words) ; needs a better cooling solution ;...
