Sony Vaio VGN-AR51J review

 

Despite some attractive features, this Vaio is a victim of poor performance

Blu-ray drive ; Excellent connectivity ; Good screen

Low performance ; Poor display resolution ; Fiddly interface

The Sony is full of good features, but it’s let down by poor performance

Sony VGN-AR51J 17inch Blu-ray Combo Drive Notebook

 

Really well built, blu ray films look amazing, positive keyboard, vaio updates, best touch pad I have used, loads of inputs, very very pleased with my purchase.

Weight, but goes with the build quality!

Overall a very good lap top and excellent value for money

Could be described as being a little heavy but with all it's features I suppose that is to be expected.
