Good Points

1. Light weight (a little more 1kg), so there is no problem to walk with it anywhere;
2. Small size, you may carry it in any bag or case;
3. A lot of useful software preinstalled, and included in price (especialy antivirus PC-cillin very effective);
4. W-LAN built-in;
5. DVD-player;
6. MemoryStick slot built-in (nice thing, because I'm using digital cam by Sony, just one card, no cables, connections ect.)


Bad Points

1. 1 USB port, not enough I think;
2. Some problems with video mode when playing games;
3. Some problems with power supply mode (certainly with power-saving modes)


General Comments

3 months ago, company changed my desktop (Celeron 1,3GHz,17"ViewSonic) computer with new model of notebook from SONY. In reality, I was very sceptical about this idea, because I thought that this "gadget" couldn't even launch my outlook contacts directory with about 5000 records or access databases or sometimes use graphical applications (PhotoShop).

So, now I'm sure this a thing I can't live without. It works great with all my applications (except some I'm describing below). I do all my job at any place, just plug-in BlueTooth adapter in USB, and I'm online anywhere. I have W-LAN at home and I'm walking all around my flat ON-line.

One thing I don't like - it is 1 USB slot, so if you want to use BT, USBmouse or some other devices you've to buy USB HUB or switch between this devices very quickly.

The problem I've met only when started playing games CounterStrike and Warcraft3, so the problem in video mode, it's not fullscreen (not windowed), but the image size is smaller than screen size. I can't solve this prob by myself.

I thik this is best office/home USE notebook I ever saw! Powerfull enough to do all you office needs, not supergood but ok for even games. Nice design. Size and wheight fits anywhere except pockets :)
