Besides their top selling VAIO laptops, Sony has a number of other notebooks – customizable of course – to suit any style, budget and computing needs. Laptop.net offers you up-to-date Sony laptop reviews, Sony laptop ratings and Sony user opinions.
The Great: Extremely ultraportable, competitively priced and comes standard with 2GB RAM.
The Not So Great: Somewhat slower performance due to graphics card, annoying built-in media bay.
The Verdict: Overall the Sony VAIO TZ170N/B is impressive with its sleek design and weighs only 2.6 pounds. We recommend looking around a bit more before purchasing - the ultraportable market is highly competitive and you can easily find more value for your dollar.
The Great: security features, media center without booting Windows, razor-thin LCD, long battery life, DVD optical drive.
The Not So Great: Expensive beyond all belief, limited configurations.
The Verdict: Like many other Sony VAIO laptops we love the look and feel but can't get over the price. If budget is not your concern seriously look into the Sony VAIO family. This model offers a 48GB SSD and Bordeaux red finish upgrade option.
The Great: Slim, sleek industrial design, long battery life and can burn DVD's.
The Not So Great: Slow performance, expensive beyond belief and limited configurations.
The Verdict: Brilliant industrial design that will definitely be turning heads. On the performance side, a bit slow and leaves a lot to be desired. If you're willing to drain the bank for aesthetics then the Sony VAIO TZ150N is the one for you.
The Great: Lots of color choice, multimedia AV Mode, excellent performance.
The Not So Great: No dedicated graphics, high price for what you get, bloatware, bad vertical viewing angles.
The Verdict: Designed for users who want to turn heads, but the very similar, more affordable VAIO N model is still a better choice.
The Great: Sleek design, up to 4GB of RAM, amazing horizontal viewing angles.
The Not So Great: Bad vertical viewing angles, lack of certain dedicated keys.
The Verdict: For an affordable Sony notebook, it's impressive, but there are definitely some areas that could be better.
The Great: Clean design, fantastic horizontal viewing angles, fast processor, stays cool.
The Not So Great: Only 3 USB ports, crappy battery life, lots of bloatware.
The Verdict: Looks great without being flashy, nice mobile multimedia center, but poor battery life means it's not suited for life on the road.
The Great: High Speed, dual core processor, 4 hour battery life, lightweight, security features.
The Not So Great: Expensive, no card reader, poor sound speakers, lack of USB ports.
The Verdict: Sony has build a powerful, light weight ultraportable without sacrificing any of its beautiful design. The Sony VAIO SZ series is a powerful ultraportable, but for the price you're going to pay for it I say shop around a bit more.
