In response to the the comments made by pierre with regards to my raving review of the SONY PCG-C1VE. The machine is once again my pick of the bunch for many reasons. Trialing the kit in a retail store for 10 mins does not give you the total picture as to how precise this machine is for the size. Yes, the seperate accessories that can be purchased with the sony are a bit off putting however, just like any other major player in the electronics field. They would like to influence the user into rolling with their whole product line. THIS IS NOT NECESSARY to enable the running out of the box scenario.
You have an option to either receive the 56k modem in your package or else the all in one card which covers all of the following: ISDN CARD / NETWORK CARD / MODEM !
Purrfect, this is how I got all of my software and files onto my Sony Vaio without buying expensive add on accessories.
It takes just a little creativity as to how you get data on & off your system. If you have a desktop at home, a network card to insert into PCI slot will cost about £10, a single CAT5 cable £5(if that) direct connect amongst both Sony vaio & desktop....wallah ! 100mb data transfer, much faster than a cd rom.
If you really wanna get funky, you can perform a direct connect USB port 2 USB port ..... all this costs is the price of a USB cable + locating software on net (freeware)
I may be wrong about this but USB data transfer should be around 400mb data transfer.
So at the end of the day, my opinion of the CIVE is unchanged, it is still the bee's knees.
