Advantages: Blu Ray technology, Wide Screen, many others
Disadvantages: a couple of quirks

...request. In previous experience with Sony equipment, I have never really been impressed with it, but never the less we brought it in for evaluation. This turned out to be the first Sony that I recommended we purchase after the evaluation period. Lets take a look at some of the specifics of this model before I get into the likes and dislikes I found. Here are the nuts and bolts: · Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2 Ghz processor · 667 MHz DDR II SDRAM · Hard ...

Thinkpad t61p advantages and disadvantages
Review of Lenovo ThinkPad T61p 6460 by lalu

Advantages: powerful components, solid, many interfaces
Disadvantages: too heavy, missing mini DVI port

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 One big disadvantage though ...
...they could build it somewhat thinner and leighter (Lenovo has to learn from Apple here). Another disadvantage seems to me to be the lack of any DVI interface. Why should you be forced to buy the docking station just to use a DVI-only monitor. Thinkpad t61p Advantages The traditional advantages of thinkpad computers are all to be found here: a nice software package of useful utillities, a robust case/frame, and a choice of great components ...

I Love This Product
Review of Asus Eee PC 2G Surf by rotz123

Advantages: Little size, high performance
Disadvantages: No optical drive

I need a small, portable and high performance laptop that I could carry around with me without feeling like I was toting around a small baby. My job is book editor, and I got so tired of jotting notes down on whatever scrap of paper was around.... And I am overjoyed that I found this little gadget. The size is that I need, as I can just toss it into my purse and go! No hassle. As most reviewers and user have said, the key pad is tine...but I ...
...it got.....I still make mistakes but I do that anyway! I feel comfort with the keyboard that match with my little finger. The are I'm in does not have a solid wireless access point for internet.....but it does indeed work. Again, I had it in my purse when I went shopping and it connected like a breeze! I am thoroughly enjoying my thought out purchase! I love this product! ... Read review

The classic MacBook (circa 2006) is still rockin
Review of Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz - 13.3" TFT by PDXPRChick

Advantages: Stylish, fast, portable, light
Disadvantages: Gets dirty easily, could use a longer battery life

I've had my MacBook since December of 2006 and it's still works great. It's a lot faster than my HP PC desktop at work (which stresses me out it's so slow sometimes) and it just looks and feels cooler. I also love its ability to look up any wireless signal and connect, without having to go into any control panels or setup wizards. Graphics are great - really easy to watch DVDs, videos, etc. I also love the programs it came with like Garage Band and ...
...of dirty easily. iChat is also really cool because MacBook comes with a built-in web cam that allows you to see your friends while you're chatting... Overall, I love it and couldn't live without it! Oh and it was super cheap (like $900) because I was a student when I bought it and Mac gives a $100 discounts (or something like that) for students. ... Read review
