Good Points

Lightweight, very portable, great processing power, storage & display for the size of the machine.


Bad Points

Standard battery, should be the extended battery that is sold as an accessory.


General Comments

The Sony Vaio FX101 is excellent through & through. digital cam properties are absolutely excellent. Processing power and memory features are exceptional for the size & weight of the machine. If you want to be mobile with a lite weight machine that has still got the disk space and processing power then choose the Sony PCG-C1VE.
Crusoe 600 processor, 12GB drive, 128 MB ram.

    Why choose the Sony PCG-C1VE? You can't load any software on this without buying very expensive add-ons which are sold separately. I think this machine is nothing more than a very expensive gimmick.

    I've just bought the FX101 at £799 from John Lewis (more reliable than PC World) but the absence of a floppy drive is inconvenient. I have had to copy floppy installation disks on to a CD to install software I use. It also enabled me to install an Iomega zip drive to use as an additional drive.

    The FX 101 is the best machine I have bought so far and very easy to get up and running. Thoroughly recommended.
