Sony VAIO VGNTT15GNR

 

A smooth and sexy ultraportable laptop.

Built-in DVD burner, light and easy to carry, screen produces vibrant colours and plenty of contrast, auto brightness is effective

Screen feels a little flimsy, keys feel soft and lack crisp bounce-back, the red lid can be distracting when viewing the screen outdoors

Sony has produced an ultraportable that is rich in features, elegant in design and has a striking paint job. It's easy to carry and easy to use once you get used to it.

Sony VAIO VGO-LA38G

 

New form factor, good speakers, half-screen display with Sony soundFLOW player.

Small keyboard, poor viewing angles on the screen.

The Sony VAIO VGO-LA38G is a welcome change of form factor which retains its mobility while also being a mobile, stylish and functional addition to the household.

Sony VAIO Fit E SVF1521A2EB

 

Good size

Where to start? Awful performance. One of the slowest computers I have ever experienced. Cannot deal with my router. Sony has history with poor wi-fi connectivity. I should have read the reviews!
