Sony VAIO VGN-A690 review

 

Sony VAIO VGN-A690 The sprawling Sony VAIO VGN-A690 is one of the most versatile desktop-replacement laptops on the market. At $2,800, it costs about what you'd spend on an LCD television, a DVD player, a DVR, and a typical wide-screen notebook...

Beautiful Sony aesthetics; bright, wide-screen, high-resolution display; full complement of features and connections; powerful performance, yet runs cool and quiet; excellent software and support.

Big and heavy; no integrated TV tuner; lacks Bluetooth; media-card reader supports only Memory Stick.

Though it relies heavily on its accessories, the Sony VAIO VGN-A690 successfully delivers TV, DVR, stereo, DVD player, and high-performance PC functions in one big laptop.

Sony VAIO VGN-A690

 

The Sony VAIO VGN-A690 won't go traveling, but it will take Media Centers head-on.

Newer components. High resolution. All-inclusive software suite.

External TV tuner. Bulky dock.

the one laptop you can't say no to

 

great video card, lots of memory and plenty of space to save files

bit heavy, but other features just make up for it

This computer has got to be one of the best!!

 

Easy and fullfilling

Has the tendency to click back to the previous page by itself.

Unpleasant Surprises

 

Decent interface, stable system, good sound card and processor

Cheaply made, inferior components, overall not up to spec

This computer rocks!

 

Screen, memory, harddrive speed, keyboard, docking station

Power cord sticks out to far.Battery life is only 1.5 hours.
