This stylish, lightweight laptop comes loaded with powerhouse components--but it'll cost you.

Clear, vibrant display ; Hip design

Try the keyboard before you buy it ; Poorly placed mouse buttons

The SZ791N's power is undeniable, but the keyboard and the mouse buttons raise questions about component quality. And considering Sony's $2500 asking price, we can't help but wish for a little more

Sony VAIO VGN-SZ791N laptop

The SZ791N's power is undeniable, but the keyboard and the mouse buttons raise questions about component quality. And considering Sony's US$2500 asking price, we can't help but wish for a little more.
