    Good Points: Excellent performance, aesthetics and build quality


    Bad Points: Video card is pretty puny by today's standards


    General comments: I bought my A290 a couple of years ago factory refurbished. To this day, it's still a phenomenal all around multimedia machine. Something very special. Just wanted to put that out there. Well recommend the Sony Vaio VGN A290.

    owned since 2K4, she's just about 4 yrs old.
    SONY really doesn't do packages like this anymore (unless I missed it) with the docking station - for the money.
    Recently purchased new FZ premium notebook. still like my big girl. she's a solid (NO FAT) performer. I'm mostly ppt, jpeg, and wav's. A290 still surfs like a hawaiian, hardline or wireless.
    Wanted to partition the HD w/Vista on one and XP on the other.
    SONY rep said it would be a bad idea. Vista doesn't run everything I need it to. Oh wel ...
