its a great laptop for the price, has some good software included and still has a good design like an apple but without the extortionate price.

I am on my 5th vaio here, although you definitely have some haters on here who just hate everything sony i'm afraid, so not everyones going to agree.

Sony have without doubt the best range of laptops currently available though, especially if you want the bonus of solid state and bluray recorder.

I want the limited edition Z Bond Series one, for the size of the laptop 13" its got an amazing spec, including Solid state disk and BD-RE with 4gb ram and a decent graphics card there is nothing that can touch it for spec, but then it is 3k! (but it is 007 engraved, how cool)

By the looks of their site, there is some heavy SOny product placement in the new bond film like th lastr one!

I guess it's the FW11E? A mate at work just got one of these through his insurance - it's pretty tasty. I'd have one, although I'd prefer on of the AR series.

i've got the ar71zu which is the top of the range and its an amazing laptop.

They have launched the AW range now with an 18" screen, and solid state and 500gb sata in the same machine.

Nice spec but because of the solid state its a hell of a price.
