The Sony Confusion Continues

by chatuge2045 , Nov 24 '00
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Missing CD Rom and inferior battery
This is the second Vaio Slimline I have owned. As products go it is a good solid notebook.

Pros: it's cool looking and works w/ Linux

Wow, my back dosen't hurt anymore

by manoterror , Nov 10 '03
Pros: Size, weight and mobility
Cons: Price, no CD/DVD, did I mention price?
I have been using a desktop replacement for a while now and a friend gave me this laptop to ease the problem of mobility. Thank God. The desktop replacement is almost ten pounds, while the Sony is a scant 4 pounds. But of course you do sacrifice some p ...
