    Good Points: You buy this machine for size, weight and build quality - and the fantastic screen. seperate video ram - Vista ready!


    Bad Points: It's a powerful machine but looks sober and business like so not good if you like bells and whistles and go faster stripes. Touchpad a little small.


    General comments: You buy a machine like the Sony VGN S3HP for business, powerful, small, lightweight, well built, hopefully reliable. It seems all that and you also get features like a good keyboard, good signal on the wifi and XP Pro. The spec may seem similar to less costly machines but they will be bigger, heavier, saggy keyboards etc. Definately recommended and great for travelling light. The screen is fantastic, photographs look as good as glossy prints!

    Ok, what's wrong with it? Battery life, 2-3 hours but they have to keep battery weight down, lots of bloatware but you can delete most of it, 60Gb but you could do with 160! Two usb's, but do you really need more at one time? Sometimes gets a bit warm but there's a lot going on in that little body.

    Want a laptop for what they were really intended? Easily transported and light, work on the move quickly and efficiently without feeling much of a compromise on your desktop machine this is it. And don't forget you get the envious looks when you bring out a classy Vaio!

    The Sony VGN S3HP is light and easy to set up.
    For £1300 it only has 2 USB's. As I mention under bad points, there is lots of useless space consuming software, but not a single CD or DVD for backup. You have to make your own. For this money Sony should supply them. Microsoft Office Professional would be the suite to have on a business computer. Most of the software I will remove to free up precious hard disc space.
    I also bought a Sony Handycam. This really hurts. The camcorder came ...
