Pros: Excellent road warrior, solid and powerful enough for all MS Office apps.
Cons: Relatively short battery life, in practice less than one hour, small screen, can run hot.
The Bottom Line: Now that this is an "old" model I think it would make a good workhorse for a student or for a summer vacation.

| rielm's Full Review: Sony VAIO SR17K PC Notebook |
I've used this VAIO for over two years now and it has been very faithful. I appreciate its form factor - it is light and fits easily into a small briefcase. The keyboard is fairly comfortable, although the right side shift key is too small for me. I also found that the delete key is a little far away. The touch pad is good and I can use it to scroll as well. Windows 2000 has its limitations and since I started installing XP compatible software it has become unstable whereas it was rock solid before. But I guess that is to be expected, MS wants me to upgrade.
