Sony VAIO GRT170 PC Notebook

Pros: Cheap for what you get.
Cons: Expect it to only work for a year!

I bought this computer because I wanted a machine that I could play games on and be able to take with me as a carryon because I was always moving around. This laptop is heavier than other models and also had a nice 16" screen. I don't mind the weight, ...

Pros: very powerful, fast, excellent for voice recognition software
Cons: poor or no tech support unit failed after less than 1 year use

I purchased this laptop July 2003. The primary use was for using voice recognition software to dictate science manuscripts. Because of a repetitive strain injury to my arms, I use voice dictation software to avoid typing. I was attracted to this ...

Pros: DVD+/-RW, 16.1 screen SXGA+ 2.8 ghz Proccesor 60 gb 512 ram Wireless lan
Cons: heavy Low batt life Warm

One of the best Desktop Replacments out there. It is very fast 2.8 ghz pentium 4, 512 ram, 64 megs video ram, 60 gb har drive. It has a memory stick reader and a DVD+/-RW drive, which is 2x DVD+RW and 1x DVD-RW. I enjoy the 64 mg or video ram because I am very Into Advanced 3D animation. Also The wireless lan 802.11b(i think) Is very nice so i can surf the web(or write reviews) from anywhere in my house. Unfourtanitly it has only 1.5 hours of Batt. Life Max and even less if running higher brightness or High proccessor programs. THe 3 USB 2.0 are good (speeds are like 480mb per sec 2.0 and 12 1.1) The firewire is good. The Cd burner is 8x CD-RW and 16x CD-R. Unfourtanitley there are only 5 function keys.
Here they are:
Mute
Volume
Brightness
LCD/TV out
Hibernate

I would have Perfered some more function keys like standby. It has a nice 16.1 in screen which is SXGA+(1400x1050) I think this is a very good desktop replacement
