Easy to use with the Orange Broadband 3G Dongle internet connection.

I would have preferred more detailed instructions ie paper manual as having to go back to laptop to see instructions is a bit annoying. It didn't come with back up Recovery Disk for VISTA which I had to purchase separately from Microsoft I understand...

Fantastic screen, fast, good keyboard and sturdy design.

Click buttons VERY loud and only 3 USB ports all together on RHS is not so good considering most of the population are right handed and so the mouse would be at this side!

Really fast, plays all games I have tried at maximum graphics and full speed, large screen allows multitasking, blu ray player and HD screen, no performance problems yet.

Quite heavy, battery life is not very good

Sony Vaio VGN-FW41M

 

It is nicely designed and has a good processor type

you should allow different screen sizes, the reason I chosen this one is because it has this processor with VT Technology while 15 inches laptop dont have this kind of processors so you should include different screen sizes.
