    Hi there, I'm going to be buying a vaio laptop soon and I'm not sure which one?

    A) NR32L/S
    B) VGN-NR32S/S

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one? Any help will be appreciated :)

    VGN-NR32S/S
    better, newer pocessor
    more RAM (1GB more)
    Way more powerfull NVidia graphics card, however it is very likely faulty. (Low failure rates on Sony odly...)
    Supports draft-n wireless, not really useful to most people


    VGN-NRL/S
    Intel Graphics, quite new, and sufficient for any Office work, even some games, I use it all the time on my SZ
    Better battery life due to integrated graphics

    Now all you'll have to do is tell us (the forum) what you want to do with your laptop.
    If its just word processing, go with the L/S, also due to the security with the integrated graphics, it'll last longer. If you need that bit extra power...you'll have to go with the other one, or have a look at the new lineup.
    What about an SR?
    I would recommend staying away from the NVidia graphics...

    Thanks for that, as for what I'll be using it for, well mostly word processing, but I'd like to play a few games and watch some HD films (from the hard drive).
