Sony Vaio VPC-X11Z1E

Size

Had to get all of the Sony software of it as it caused all kinds of problems

very light and easy to carry around. Great capacity. Not too cluttered with stuff!

Rather disappointed in the battery life. When the lid is open the key board lifts off the table which is a bit odd!

For a laptop with this much processing power it's thin and incredibly lightweight - truly portable

What bad points?

Size and weight

Very bad battery performance

Very light and small - good battery life - good screen. performance adequate for most business apps. Big solid state disk. Great for travel.

Sometimes can be slow with processor/memory hungry apps. No DVD

This is a stunning netbook. It has completely met my hopes of an ultimate solution to my personal organisation - fast, light, long battery, 3G, high resolution, Windows 7. I had wondered whether the machine would have sufficient power for multi-...

Undoubtedly expensive - the price of SSDs

battery, design and weight

performance - have various problems playing movies via itunes which work without a problem on a much lower spec, older and cheaper machine!

Apart from all of the above I've been told the web cam quality is great, which considering it's size is amazing

Can't get a basic padded case and you don't do a slimline external DVD writer like the MacBook Air

Great design, clear screen, light

Touchpad erratic, battery runs down very fast (nowhere near advertised/claimed). Shut and go not consistent in operation - have to reboot far too often. Vaio network software popups unneccessary and irritating More about Windows 7 - how to get rid of...

Fantastically light

Very poor performance - freezes often when doing simple tasks like opening drop-down menu.
