STYLE AT A PRICE
I suppose it should come as no surprise that the Sony name will cost a little more. This Sony Vaio CR420 laptop combines a new Intel T8100 processor with attractive style multiplexed with all the accoutrements of a modern laptop and maybe more considering it has the not yet agreed upon N-wireless 802.11.

A good work-at-home laptop
I am running Ubuntu 8 on my CR420E. It works nice. Unfortunately the "Instant Mode" media playing relies on the Windows Vista partition. I would recommend carefully backing up the hard drive raw image and moving to a dual boot scenario to retain "Instant Mode" capability, at a cost of a chunk of drive space.
I've had no issues with the Linux driver support for the Intel chipset. I have not fully used the wireless, but 'iwlist scan' does pick up a list of the neighbors' private net...

So so...
Pros
- Nice looking
- Fast machine 3G of RAM and 250GB of hard disk space
Cons
- Too much junk software comes with the computer
- No original DVD/CD comes with the machine - even all others pc/notebook maker do this one shouldn't just follow
- Fan stop and go while using create irritating noise
- Heavy
- Cable bulky and short. They should come with their travel version of cable which is lighter.
- Should (but did not) include matching blu...

Fast, reliable computer with a huge hard drive
I'm sick of slow computers, computers that get viruses even when you have the protection, bugs, etc. This computer was an awesome buy, and it's also stylish. the windows vista took some getting used to, but it really is a great computer

Awesome machine!
I bought this notebook from abroad (Brazil), without knowing what I was going to receive, and I was very surprised! The machine is very classy, and the 3Gb RAM memory provides excelent performance. I'm very please with my purchase, and recomend this machine for all those that might be in doubt about it.

LOVE IT!
I've had this Vaio for a couple weeks and absolutely LOVE it! I had a smaller Vaio but I ran out of space with all my music since I use my laptop to DJ.
Fast, slick, bright and not heavy at all! I Definitely recommend!!

Very fast and easy to use, just comes with a lot of extra stuff you don't need
This laptop is so easy to use! The keys are spaced apart so it is easier and smoother to type and additions like display off and mute come in very handy. The instant mode is great for watching movies and not having to worry about your virus scanner popping up to come up at crucial moments. I bought it in the black/brown crocodile and it is really, really nice! The texture is great and it doesn't seem like it will get scratched any easier than the standard black covers. When it is in direct lig...
