Review of Sony VAIO BX396XP - Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83 GHz - 15.4" TFT by calki taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Large Disk space and well equipt
Disadvantages Not the best looking laptop.

...I strongly recoment this laptop, when i first looked at it i thaught no way. But then i looked at the speck which changed my mind totally. This is great value for money and has what most people need in a laptop. This is quite a light laptop with many good featchers. Iy has a quality prosessor and significant RAM. 120GB is plenty you can buy a cheap external drive if more space is needed. It has an average write speed for DVDs and and higher for CD. In my opinion 15" is perfect for a loptop. Wide screen laptops make things look un natural and is not neccessary. For the price of this laptop the graphics and audio are prety good. Sony also offer Windows XP profetional instead of home edition which is a bonus. Normally this would cost a lot more.... Read review

The reason for allowing this time is that I believe there is a lot of product information and reviews on items as new, but in terms of reviewing a product, they do not tell us much about the long term capabilities of the item. Through out the review I will compare the performance as I have found it to that of my desktop PC. For this reason my desktop spec is as follows: AMD athlon XP2600 (2Ghz), 1Gb ram. Choice of purchase ()()()()()()()()()()()()()() This is actually the first laptop I have ever purchased. Consequently I decided that if I was going to buy one, I would pay the extra and hopefully get something to last. I also wanted a laptop that would do as much as my... Read review
