So much can be say about Sony's VAIO, but one thing is for sure: it's the perfect companion for working, studying or even for just have some fun on-the-road. I've bought this unit 2 weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier. Its runs smoothly with the 2 Gbytes RAM, the display is bright and clear, the keyboard is very comfortable (the keys are very well spaced), it comes with 4 USB ports (more than enough!) and with a 160-Gbytes hard drive (not too big, but considering it's a laptop you shouldn't keep all your data on it). The design is very stylish (I bought the night-blue model; I'm a blue-freak!). It's elegant and (perhaps the most important thing to consider) it is totally affordable. Honestly, I just can't believe I've got a VAIO for less than 700$!
Windows Vista runs quiet and quickly in this VAIO. Although many people find it annoying, I don't fell offended for all the software trials that come with it. And it takes only about 5 minutes (10 minutes top) to uninstall all of this software.

Cons: Instalation is a breeze. Speed is excelent; Capacity in RAM and Disk is superb for the price.I am more than happy with this purchase.
Cons: Battery life is very bad. Just imagine leaving the battery fully charged, turn it off from the wall aoutlet and when I turn it on two days later the battery is almost exhausted. Probably there is something wrong this it. It is not normal.

The "Lenovo ThinkPad T61" is my company's default laptop for mobile users. I have been using the T61 for about 8 months and have never been happier with any portable computer.
Being almost 100% work from home, I find the battery life (about 3-4 hours) and strong Wi-Fi (works from anywhere in the house) to be very convenient.
The powerful processor and great video display rival even my desktop PC, so there really is no productivity loss when working solely on the laptop.
The built in DVD drive and long battery life are also nice when traveling, allowing to me to watch up to two movies before needing to use the charger.
The laptop is very rugged and able to withstand a good bit of abuse. I have dropped mine twice from about 4' and it continues to run just fine.
A very powerful and sturdy professional grade PC! Highly recommended and worth the cost!

This computer was such a good deal for the price. It has a trial on the microsoft office and you can purchase it later if you like it. Has Windows Vista which is fine too. Nice wide screen and no problems so far. I have had it for a couple weeks. I am not up on all the technology, but I can tell you it accomodates a couple of usb cords, has been user friendly, no problem with internet and has slots for my memory card from my camera. Everything I need. Touch pad works well just had to disable some of the "assistance" features in order to not have it do some things for me automatically. Great purchase!

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite computer for > $1300. It had all the bells and whistles including fingerprint reader. Within six weeks after purchase I started having problems with it. It wouldn't boot up, it would crash, monitor would fail, etc, etc, etc. I called customer service after the first occurance and was told it was a software problem and they would do nothing about it. I repeatedly called, after each occurance, and was repeatedly told by customer service it was a software problem. Nine months later the entire system dropped dead. I called customer service again. Turns out it was a bad hard drive, not a software problem. This time I was asked to send it to one of their service centers (at my cost, $55 each way). Now, this product is still under warranty. They (Toshiba) charged me $250 dollars to retrieve all the info off the old drive, $200 labor, $250 to reinstall all the software and info that was on the old drive and of course, shipping and handling and insurance charges.

This laptop is very good. It certainly can do any kind of analysis without crashing. However, when I got it, it felt a bit heavy to carry around.
A friend of mine has the T43 model, and I thought I would get something similar. It happens that on the T60 series the size was increased and with it the Kgs. If you are considering a really good and light laptop go for the Lenovo ThinkPad X61 7675 - Core 2 Duo T7300 / 2 GHz - Centrino Pro - RAM : 1 GB - HD : 120 GB - DVD?RW (?R DL) / DVD-RAM - Gigabit Ethernet - WLAN : 802.11 a/b/g/n (draft), Bluetooth 2.0 - TPM - finge, it is smaller, has very good performance, and is very cute :-) However, it does not have a CD player, which is sometimes a bit distressing.
If the portability is not the main issue and you are getting a laptop to work at your office, I would certainly recommend this one!

My model number is a little different (F767NR) but the specs match and my model may differ only in that I bought it from a bricks and mortar store near my office. Instead of Intel, mine is outfitted with AMD Turion64. The store cleaned up most of the advertising and set it up for me. This may improve the performance. I had someone to take it to when I needed to ask a question.
I wanted a laptop because I write and I hate being tied to a desk. I didn't need huge capacity but I wanted MS Word because that is compatible with most of my document files. I needed to make the jump to the hated Vista...what was wrong with XP?
Except for hating what Microsoft has changed in the MSWord interface, I'm very happy with the computer. It weighs less than six pounds and fits in a laptop case I already had. It's sleek. The screen is big enough to read easily. It boots up reasonably fast and is extremely responsive.
I really like the keyboard. The keys on the keyboard operate quietly but have a

The Toshiba is a very solid fast laptop. I needed it for various business travel. Previously, I had a HP dv 2000 which was a total waste of money and broke down after one year. So- I certaintly did a fair amount of research when it came to purchasing a new laptop. The screen is amazing and so is the sound quality.
The seller Beach Camera listed the price as $732.00 one day and $698.00 the following day. Beach Camera or Amazon would not give back the difference.
Also-it states it is 15.4 screen. It is a 17 inch screen. It is very difficult to find a laptop travel case that fits this large thick computer.

This is my first new laptop, and despite of it's hefty price tag, I do like what I've purchased. Everything from the memory, and even the included webcam suits my needs in both business and personal aspects. The only thing(s) I don't like about it is that for starters, it's heavy. I could do arm curls with it. And i'm not with the scroll pad because a small page turner indicator always popped up in the middle of my scroll, so I purchased a mini mouse. The final thing about this laptop is that it is a bit pricey. Even the lower models starts off at 600 bucks and above. I don't know if Toshiba is genrally a pricey brand, but if you got the strength and the bucks, I would recommend it. If not, I would try something else.

I own a Vaio and so does my girlfriend. Unbelievably, her charger does not work on my Vaio, and vice versa. Further, the Vaio does not accept SD cards so you have to carry a converter, plus, most ridiculously, my Sony video camera's memory stick does not fit Sony's memoery stick. Sony has produced different memory sticks for its video cameras, compatible maybe with who knows what, another converter to buy and carry. Meanwhile, no matter whether I turn off the wireless, the Sony feels compelled to keep warning me that my wireless is not connected. I'm through with Sony forever.

Pros: Aside from the lack of a slick alien face 'hood ornament' on the lid, this laptop reminded me very much of the first Alienware gaming laptop I got to play with some years ago -- only scaled forward with the times. It's powerful, upgradeable, and can easily replace most gaming and multi-media desktops. The laptop was purchased as a gift for my boyfriend, also an avid gamer, for the eventual release of the Champions Online MMO. It handles Age of Conan at high (not highest) settings, and handles World of Warcraft, City of Heroes, and a variety of single-player games very well. Back to the lack of a slick hood ornament: if you plan to skin your laptop, the subdued lid logo works to your advantage.
Cons: Runs a bit hot, not surprisingly. Picking up a cooling pad is a really good idea. Mousepad automatically comes with double-tap settings and there are no drivers out there to change this yet. Very annoying if one uses the mousepad, but in this case a cordless USB mouse is the primary pointer

I just got this computer but I wanted to point out a few features that don't seem to be listed. There is a built in webcam and microphone with the computer, which I haven't explored yet but look forward to. For security purposes there is a fingerprint reader so only you can log in to your computer, if you choose to set it up that way. If you go to the HP website you can get a detailed, printable list of everything you might want to know about this computer. Also, to make a label on a CD or DVD using LightScribe you need to buy special discs made to use with LightScribe. That is only if you want to label using LightScribe, not to burn a disc. Lastly, even though I chose free shipping, I got it very quickly.

upgraded from a powerbook G4 1.5 MHz so I can write iphone apps.
This new laptop is _great_. Much faster, screen is brighter.
Didn't expect to use built in isight but ended up using it lots.

Very good, no complaints. Used for 2 months now.
Looks pretty, all surfaces are shiny. Screen is good, buttons are fine. All works fast. Vista is not too bad, no problems with it so far.
Wireless works fine. Overheating is not to bad (note, the computer has to have proper ventilation and cooling not to burn).
The fact that power wire is on the side is cool - you know for sure that it is plugged in. The mechanical wheel for sound volume - is great! How many years it takes for designers to figure out that mechanical wheels and switches are better than electronic/software controlled? This model has mechanic wheel for sound volume, mechanic switch for wireless signal (to protect user from extra irradiation with wireless signal when it is not used), that is about it. Touch pad is ok, better than on older models, but still there is much space for improvement. The buttons on a touch pad are little to hard to press - drug and drop actions are possible to do but way harder than with a computer

i bought the computer a month ago, and no problems so far. I use for internet, email, word processor, and when I travel, so for that is an excellent computer, and the price is one of the lowest.

I am hypercritical about the quality of everything I buy so this basic laptop exceeded my expectations. I never play video games, so this is a perfect home use machine. I was encouraged by a computer tech friend to avoid the AMD chip, and was pleased to see that this model uses Intel.

~ Super bright screen

This was my first transition to a Mac from using windows based PC for most of my life. This is a super user friendly computer that has tons of hardware and software to do whatever you like. Though I am just getting to know the in's and out's of the macbook world, I can already tell that I will be an Apple fan for life. The new Leopard OS X is by far the best OS that I have used. Queit, portable and is just sleek looking. What else can I say......I love this MACBOOK PRO

Please do not buy this computer. I had this computer for two months and the screen is cracked internally. Dell said that I caused the damage and I would have to pay $400 to fix it. I work in social services and I don't have that kind of money. $400 is my rent for the month. I am now using my old Toshiba laptop that I have had for almost 6 years without any issues. I never taken it off my desk it has never dropped. This model in particular has the problem of internally cracked screens, just do some online searches and you will see this problem come up constantly. Stay away from this product.

I can't begin to describe how cool this laptop is. It is all you need for personal or business work. I have an Acer Desktop with 1 GB of RAM and 100 GB Memory. This little guy has 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Duo Core Processor (that's basically at least twice as fast as my desktop) and 250 GB on the hard drive! Those items are critical for good, fast performance. The keyboard is perfectly typical in its layout and the mouse pad is actually sleek and slightly indented, allowing you to seamlessly run your finger over the metal. The two button pads allow for more functions. It is completely intuitive and although I prefer Windows XP Home over Vista Home (XP is faster), you can't get around that nowadays. It comes preloaded with everything you need and I actually uninstalled some unnecessary programs. I took out the Norton Virus software and put in Windows Live One Care (my preference on quality and ease of use).
There are lots of standards that used to be extras, like the Web Cam,
