Sony Laptop Reviews:-

# Sony VAIO SZ Review is taken from Notebookreview :- I was in the market for a new notebook because my old one was too slow and too heavy. I wanted a faster, more portable model and I looked around for a good match. Intel recently released their new Core Duo processors, and seeing the supposed performance gains in multitasking environments and multithreaded applications, I decided to get one instead of an older Pentium M model. A few notebooks had already begun to make use of the new processors and I examined the offerings from several major notebook manufacturers. Lenovo (which acquired IBM’s PC division) had the Thinkpad X60s — a generally excellent machine, but it had no internal optical drive, something I considered an absolute necessity. Toshiba had the Portege M400 convertible Core Duo tablet, but it had a strange keyboard layout that moved or eliminated several keys I frequently used. The Asus W5F seemed like a potential match, but at the time, the product website was incomplete and buggy so I couldn’t find out enough about it and the product itself seemed to be unavailable for sale everywhere I looked.

# Sony VAIO SZ Review is taken from Idiottoys :- The SZ-Series is ready to meet the world. An integrated camera3 and microphone allow convenient video communications across a company network or the internet, while Bluetooth4 and high-speed wireless networking provide cable-free convenience in and out of the office. When you would rather keep things to yourself, the SZ offers ironclad data protection. First, there’s biometric gatekeeper security in the form of fingerprint recognition. Then, Trusted(tm) Platform Module (TPM) hardware prevents hackers from accessing passwords and encryption keys. Finally, the hard disk itself can sense if the notebook is dropped, and parks the HDD head to prevent damage to data.                    sonyw

# Sony VAIO SZ Review is taken from Tech.blorge :- In retrospect installing the memory was easy compared to the pain required to install the hard drive.  A tutorial on that can be found here but this involves removing four screws, including one that secures the keyboard down.  Removing these screws is also a pain and I managed to strip one more, so if anything, make sure you have a bunch of tiny replacement screws lying around.

In the step where it says “Push both the release keys while pulling the entire keyboard towards you.”  It really should say “push both release keys while pulling up on keyboard.”  The keyboard will bend a bit but its flexible, just don’t bend it too much.

# Sony VAIO SZ Review is taken from Review.zdnet :- One of our favorite things about the VAIO SZ is the keyboard. Though it’s not quite as firm as the Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t’s and has considerably fewer keys, the VAIO SZ’s keys are impressively large and nice to type on, even for long periods–a rare quality for such a lightweight laptop. Though the touch pad and the mouse buttons are on the smaller side, we found them adequate to work with; that the fingerprint scanner is placed between the mouse buttons didn’t bother us, and though it’s not marked, the touch pad features both vertical and horizontal scrolling functionality. There are few multimedia controls here; besides two tiny programmable buttons that sit above the keyboard, the VAIO SZ makes do with key-combination shortcuts for volume and brightness adjustments. The laptop runs very quietly and coolly.
