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 ...

OK - Overpriced For What You Get
Review of Sony VAIO AR890U by CyberSprocketLabs

Advantages: Decent screen, good keyboard.
Disadvantages: 32 bit OS = 3GB usable RAM, 1H of software updates to be usable

...It is the only OS Sony supports on this system. While you may be able to run very old legacy apps, you cannot leverage any of the cool new features of a 64-bit system like advanced video editing or running virtual machines efficiently. Yeah, you can still do that stuff but at nearly 1/2 the speed. Not too mention you are buying 4GB of RAM but can only ever access 3GB. All 32-bit OSes are stuck with this limitation. It's nice of Sony to boast 4GB ...
...Microsoft Live One Care * Sony VAIO Update Site makes installing their custom updates a manual & lengthy process, not too mention the download names are meaningless... what is S-V2N-9281.282.EXE? * Sony Support Site does not recognize this model, does not have manuals, specs, or drivers available when entering the model manually. * Sony Business Site is not in synch with the support site and DOES contain specs and a lot of marketing hype Overall ...

Advantages: Speed
Disadvantages: Few Programs

I have recently bought i Macbook. I was worried about the new operating system. I got my mac and was excited about the awsome speed and never having to worry about viruses anymore. But, most programs and softwares don't work on the macbook. I dislike the fact that the mac cannot run many programs. But, i like the fact that the programs that do work with the mac work speedily and great. The mac rarely gets viruses and has an awsome start up speed. ... Read review

Advantages: Stable
Disadvantages: Low speed modem

...my gadget runing fastest. The Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X bundled with 200GB of serial ATA hard disk. I feel this is not big enough space for my video project.
