Sony VAIO XG500 PC Notebook

Pros: Everything you could need, solid desktop replacement, extras available
Cons: Short battery life and cost of the extras

I was looking for a machine that was light enough to lug around all day to different client sites. It had to have large enough display to show off the graphics and websites that I produce. It also had to have the horsepower to instantly display whatever...

Pros: It has all of the options anyone would want.
Cons: The operating system is old. Get the 256 ram.

I really love my Sony laptop. It has everything you could ask for. The ME op system is a bit out of date but you can always up grade to a better one. The docking station is a wonderful addition. I will always keep this laptop. Its a classic.The bottom of the unit folds down to let the circulation system work better, unlike what you see on newer laptops today,(2004). The screen has a glass front on it to provide a stable cleaning surface. You need to use 256 ram to operate most programs today, 2004.
