Sony VAIO VGN-NW15G notebook

An affordable Sony VAIO laptop that's well built and looks good

Comfortable keyboard, allows you to browse the Web without loading Windows, video editing software included

Screen has poor vertical viewing angles, touchpad has uncomfortable bumps

Sony's VAIO VGN-NW15G notebook looks good and is comfortable to use for the most part. It has specifications powerful enough for image and video editing, and it is a great mid-sized laptop for users who want something that's stylish yet functional and...

Unsure?!

Pretty disappointed in this computer... purchasing one for my son, this computer was suppose to have a long battery life including fast and quick pace (suppose to be in competition with a Macbook Pro) I have had this computer for a little while now and...

Love it except the battery does not last too long

Love my vaio e series , however only lasts 1.5 hours on the road - I have purchased a car charger to keep me going however just thought I would warn people who travel that it takes a bit of juice

Love it

Just battery life

Excellent

A joy to use, especially if you type a lot. Excellent value for money, this is not a high end laptop but I struggle to think of an average user who would need more than this laptop has to offer.

I'm a software engineer and web developer... I use this laptop for software development and image manipulation. It's beautiful, the keyboard is a joy to type on, it runs very nicely (using Vista at the moment)... I run SQL server, 2010 .NET development...

Screen is sensitive to viewing angle and not great in sunlight which isn't a problem for me but those who want to sit in an outdoor cafe with it might be frustrated.

Excellent

Compact, good looking, stylish machine with all the necessary space and gadgets to get you going. You get the guarantee of owning a Sony, without the expensive price tag. Ahead of it's time with a 2.10GHz processor, 2GB memory and every Memory Stick...

It is the best laptop I've ever had. I got the bronze one coz I wanted something bit more exciting then plain black. I know my stuff about laptops and this one has everything that you would want in a laptop. No extra unnecessary numeric pad of the...

I guess the speakers could be a bit stronger, to enhance things like 'youtube' videos. You need to spend a bit of time setting it up to your liking.

Good

I purchased my silver 15 inch screen laptop mainly for home use and so far have been very happy with it. When I purchased my laptop, it came bundled with an extra 2 GB of memory. (I choose this level of laptop, rather than a cheaper one, as I wanted it...

Smooth, sophisticated look Ergonomic keyboard Good Processing speed Additional Vaio software Wide screen great for watching movies Easy to use & already set up with main software Free Windows upgrade (from Vista), when the next version is available

Screen reflects light easily Not suitable for high end games (This is not an issue for me, but may affect some people)
