VGN-NR160E/T

 

You won't win any speed contests with this budget laptop, but it's nicely crafted and offers pretty good battery life for less than $900.

Great price Good battery life and overall design

Slow processor Screen could be a little brighter

All in all, this is a nice unit for undemanding consumers who need to buy a portable companion to supplement a desktop PC without spending a lot of money

Sony VAIO VGN-NR160

 

The textured skin on the relatively inexpensive Sony VAIO VGN-NR160 makes it look pricey.

Textured designs add to the appeal. Dirt cheap. Nice range of features. Good dual-core processor for the price.

Excessive software load. Needs more RAM.

Sony VAIO NR160E/W

 

Least expensive VAIO laptop yet; keeps Sony's excellent laptop keyboard, plus extras such as an Express Card slot.

Looks and feels noticeably cheaper than more expensive VAIOs, loaded down with performance-killing bloatware.

Kudos to Sony for releasing the sub-$1,000 VAIO NR160. It's a perfectly functional, budget 15-inch laptop--we just wish it didn't stray so far from the excellent industrial design of the company's more expensive systems.
