Its sony and its black

Maybe:- the 'mouse'(?) buttons being located right on the front is a minor gripe you can sometimes catch then by accident and they click when you press them, but its a minor thing.

Sony VAIO AR51E

 

Well made, stylish and well specified. Excellent screen and sound.

USB ports poorly sited both the side and rear. Touch-pad buttons are easily touched accidentally. Too much unnecessary software bundled with vista. Have to make own recovery discs.

Sony VAIO AR51E

 

Quiet, fairly fast, competent, nice 17"screen, integrated camera & mic, large HDD, central mousepad.

Battery lasts less than 2 hours and takes about twice as long to charge up, Vista is annoying, Sony utilities hog the processing power (so uninstall them),

Sony VAIO AR51E

 

Stylish design. Bright screen with a good anti-reflective coating - very useable in all lighting conditions. Fast, high performance machine. Very quiet hard disk.

Windows Vista is dire. Memory card slots only support Sony formats. But that's it - easily one of the best laptops on the market - at a great price!
