The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
They are at the bottom of Sony's line-up in terms of prices, so it's not going to be too "decent" compared to other Sony offers. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with it, either, and it is definitely a decent laptop compared to other budget laptops of similar specs -- you just pay a little more for the subjectively better style, probably a little bit better screen, and maybe a little bit better quality control compared to other brand.
Chang, you couldn't have made the question any looser if you tried could you...
They are very "decent" for basic needs, web browsing, word processing, Instant messeging etc, but any middle range+ games and it wont cope as it has an integrated GPU, however it has 3GB Ram, Vista Home Premium and is very nice to the touch and looks. It plays DVD's nicely too, excellent screen, I watched Finding Nemo on it in the Sony Centre near where I live and the colours were very vivid.
I'd say its a great laptop for basic needs.
