The two-tone Sony Vaio FZ may not be as staid or as dull as your standard corporate Wintel laptop, but some of the design elements left us disappointed. For one thing, the black plastic on the keyboard, especially where it meets the magnesium alloy shell, felt a bit flimsy and creaky to us, and yielded when we pressed down. Also, though we tend to be extra-careful with our review units, the top outer shell of the laptop picked up some scuffs and ... ...a dedicated laptop case. We like the relatively thin size and light weight of the machine, though this won't be any competition for design like we see on the Macbook Pro, but even looking around the case there are some design flaws. The AC adapter plugs in with an L-shaped plug, and when this isn't oriented properly towards the back it perfectly obscures the Blu-Ray drive from opening.

Thinkpad t61pDescription
I bought the t61p 3 monthes ago. It is a real power horse. Windows Vista runs very smoothely on this machine. The 1920x1200 screen resolution results in a very fine-grained text display. The t61p comes with a lot of interfaces including firewire, usb, wifi, card reader. The heat development (a problem in previous versions of the T-series) is moderate. Thinkpad t61p Disadvantages

Advantages: fingerprint authentication, fast, good sized screen Disadvantages: heavy, battery life is not very long
...There's no need to be wary of the Lenovo brand. One minor complaint that I have is it seems like the battery life is awfully short and the laptop is a bit heavy which makes it annoying (at least for me as a woman) to carry around. ...
