Sony Vaio VGN-SZ4XWN/C review

Stylish, but with only a plug-in 3G card

Powerful and well-featured ; Excellent display

Plug-in 3G ; Battery life

Decent power and portability - it's just a pity the 3G is an add-in card

Sony - Vaio SZ4 XWN/C

Sony's Vaio SZ4 XWN/C sits in the middle of a three-product family and is, as we've come to expect from Sony, a stylish, well featured, portable laptop with built-in security, all aimed at the business user. ...

The SZ4 XWN/C is a stylish but costly, well featured laptop which is easy to carry around, but the thinness of the screen is something that will play on your mind unless you have it well protected.

Sony Vaio SZ4 slimline laptop

Sony's slender Vaio SZ4 is geared to folk who don't like their laptops to weigh them down.

Fantastic, but has flaws

I got this high end laptop about 6 months back and is running fantastic. It's finger print sensor's amazing and works every time. You also can set up to log into internet accounts by using finger prints.
