Sony VAIO VGN-N170G

 

This reasonably priced and stylish laptop has a few drawbacks, but it works for mainstream computing.

Inexpensive Nicely designed

On the slow side

This inexpensive, stylish notebook has modest processing power but lacks a user-upgradable hard drive.

Sony VAIO N170GT (Core Duo 1.6 GHz review

 

Call it the Jan Brady Syndrome. Mainstream laptops are often the forgotten middle child; they aren't as cute and cuddly as ultraportables or thin-and-lights, nor are they as attention-grabbing as feature-packed, high-power desktop replacements....

Attractive minimalist design; bright screen without the glare; decent application performance for the money; battery runs for more than four hours.

Uses an older Core Duo processor and integrated graphics, which limits performance; you'll probably want more memory when Vista hits; nonconfigurable.

The Sony VAIO N170G/T uses an underpowered Intel Core Duo processor, but the bright screen and the slick styling will make it attractive to the design-conscious consumer on a budget.
