Sony VAIO VGN-NS30E/S - 15.4in Laptop

 

With an identical chassis, what has Sony improved over its VAIO NS20E to justify the extra £100?

Audio, meanwhile, is just as mediocre as before. The speakers manage okay volume levels, but when not distorting everything comes out sounding very flat and lacking in bass, so as usual you're better off using headphones or external speakers.

Sony VAIO VGN-NS30E/S review

 

A good specification on offer for the money, but little here to excite

Solid build quality ; Great battery life

No connection for a digital display ; Low 3D performance

A well built laptop that favours battery life and value over raw performance

Sony Vaio VGN-NS30E/W review

 

Can Sony's budget laptop retain the gloss of its high-end offerings?

Great build quality ; Excellent battery life

Disappointing performance ; Missing useful multimedia features

A stylish, comfortable and good-quality laptop, but performance is lacking

SONY DEPENDABLE/FAST LAPTOP

 

IT WAS TIME FOR A NEW LAPTOP, AND SONY VAIO SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! I PREFER THE AMD CPU AND GRAPHICS MYSELF, WHICH IS WHY I PURCHASED THIS MODEL. FAST SHIP, I HAD WITHIN 7 DAYS OF ORDER!

Great Replacement

 

I was looking for something more powerful than the laptop I have now. This is just what I needed. I also like that graphic card isn't intergrated , that helps a lot when playing games.

papyrus...

 

This is my 3rd Sony Vaio and the best of all the computers I have owned. You can never miss with a Sony. Easy set up, easy to use and just has it all. I am 66 and it only took a short while to have all my computer needs up and running. Good price also.

Great Computer...

 

This is our second Vaio computer in our home and I love it. My husband bought his about 3 years ago and no problems ever. I had a choice between an Apple laptop and a Vaio. I picked the Vaio over the Apple laptop, because it had the same features as...
