Pros: Fast, great display
Cons: Large and heavy
The Bottom Line: I would buy again but remove all of XP's spyware. Find Windows 2000 drivers and get rid of XP. You don't want all your info spread all over the net.

| freeofbugs's Full Review: Sony VAIO FXA32 PC Notebook |
The Vaio FXA32 is a great machine for the price. The AMD Duron processor is fast and with the 200mhz frontside bus, is faster than some 1Ghz Pentium machines.
The 15.1" screen is clear and the ATI chipset offers great acceleration and color depth.
The only negative of this machine is weight. This is a hefty mamma. But if you aren't running a marathon, its not that bad. Afterall, this is an "ALL IN ONE" machine and you don't need to mess with a bunch of wires. The spec is wrong on epinion, it has built in Ethernet.
Another negative is Sony's support. Sony only supports Windows XP on it and you can't upgrade to Windows 2000 without all that XP spyware built in. If you could avoid XP on it, do it.
