Lookin' Good

by ShortKut , Mar 03 '00
Pros: Fast, Big Screen, DVD Drive
Cons: Some models are really heavy, Needs a better VGA card and/or an accelerator for all the gamers out there
I would personally have to say these sleek looking, blazingly fast notebook PC's must be a whole beginning of a new Era, the speed is just amazing, and they are very light, and a huge 15" Viewable Screen is just awesome for a Laptop, I would easily...

Sweet little VAIO XG9

by astone , Dec 16 '99
Pros: Speedy, powerful, relatively sleek, nice styling
Cons: Short battery life, small usability issues
I got the VAIO XG9 in order to do mobile software development, and I've had it for about two weeks now. Overall the experience has been quite good, and I've detailed some of the highs and lows below.

The VAIO series may be best known for it's...

The masochist's dream machine

by hoborocks , Sep 21 '00
Pros: Fast, DVD drive, VERY crisp screen, thin.
Cons: DVD has issues, Jog Dial software drives some to the brink of suicide, VERY sluggish at times, a tad heavy, some odd caveats.
It was a few months ago, and I was searching for a top-of-the-line laptop. It had to have a DVD player, great graphics, good expandability, USB, a Pentium III, a good-sized hard drive, and anything I could find included for free. I looked for many...

Crash City here we come

by khunkwai , Mar 26 '00
Pros: Nice Screen....and wallpaper
Cons: Memory errors, API errors, not very light, gets very hot
I'm not a fan of notebooks, but I was press ganged into buying one as my job now requires that I travel a lot, so we looked around and checked out various Laptops and various models of Sony before selecting two of these for myself and my boss.... and...

When you love plastic

by B_L_I_S_S , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Design
Cons: Quality
My first remark when I saw the XG9 was 'HEY! A the playstation 2 is out!'.
The design of this notebook looks very good indeed but I am seriously doubting the quality of it. The new XG9 is made out of plastic! It was one of the first notebooks I saw...

Issues, but excellent

by elgattogordo , Dec 19 '99
Pros: Display, power, desktop capability
Cons: Goofy keyboard, limited ports
I purchased this machine after returning a Compaq "cutting edge" notebook that gave me nothing but headaches. I was first impressed by it's display, then I read the spec sheet. How they squeeze an 18 GB hard drive, a DVD, and a PIII chip in...

1st Moble PIII

by DRuffer , Dec 14 '99
Pros: weak keys, limited ports
Cons: crisp screen, speed demon
I needed a new laptop to replace my 4 year old 133MHz Pentium and decided to get one on the "bleeding edge" of technology. I wanted to give my daughter my old laptop, so I had to get another before she came home for the Thanksgiving holiday....

XG9 problems

by JodyAR , Apr 19 '00
Pros: Nice screen, quiet processor.
Cons: Terrible customer service. Lousy Keyboard- sounds like a tin roof. Mouse clicks loud enough to wake up the person next to you.
I bought a Sony XG19 yesterday and boy was it a lemon. The swapable bay was defective and would not release drives. Both the Cdwrite and the DVD drives were defective. Worst of all, Sony customer service were unhelpful and even rude, hanging up on me...
