Sony VAIO review: VGN-AW21XY/Q

 

Only an elite few machines soar above the £2,000 mark, and those that do need something special to justify the outlay. This Sony VAIO just about does it.

Sony Vaio VGN-AW21M

 

No breakdowns, speed of processing when using Office and lotus software for spread sheets and databases. The screen has a sharp image at all time, and it's HD capability is good. The Blue ray DVD read / Write drive is now very good.

Internal disk failed this year after four years. The original software for the Blue ray drive needed a lot of updating for it to work.
