Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T 15.4in Notebook

 

Sony gives its entry level NR Series notebook the Penryn treatment and Andy sees if it's worth getting the chequebook out.

Indeed, though it is heavier and thicker than the Dell its rounded edges make it pleasant to handle. In use the large and friendly touch pad is great, though the keyboard is something of an acquired taste. It has an excellent layout but it has flat...

Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T notebook

 

Sony has been making notebooks since 1999 and until recently only played in the high-end market. Increasingly, the company is launching lower priced portables that meet the needs of the more mainstream audience. The Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T is a great...

Good battery price, value for money, decent specification

Lacks digital connections, poor graphics

Sony VGN-NR21Z

 

Very light, great design and amazing picture quality!

Microsoft Vista is its worst quality!! I wish it came with an option to either have Vista or XP. Vista is one of the most horrible Operating systems to work with!

Sony VGN-NR21Z

 

Easy to operate and clear information on screen. Does exactly what I had wanted in a laptop at an affordable price.
