This was a difficult review considering there are so many too choose from. However in the end it came down to looks speed and portability.  Of course there where faster models the aw series for istance is much quicker, however this is reflected also in the price.  This really is a James Bond type laptop. The laptop is sexy in hot red. It has a built in motion eye camera.  Touch sensitive controls. The blu - ray disk makes this laptop future proof too, meaning you wont have to upgrade it for a while as the next generation has blu ray why not have it now?.  This really is a sexy looking laptop its small witha 14.1 inch x black screen ( x black meaning very high def shiny lcd.)  It also has the new isolation keyboard making typing easier. This is one of the latest of sony vaio models to be released.  The performance is great too. The intel Centrino core 2 duo processor makes it very quick and with 4 gigs of ram its lightning fast.

   The processor speed is 2.26 mhz. Can you imagine a laptop with a massive 320 gb hard drive ? Yes this means all those pictures and videos can be stored with ease with still tons of space left over. No need for an external drive with this laptop.  The other thing to mention is the wireless technology this laptop has. You may recall wireless 802.11 a then we had b then g this laptop has n meaning its faster and can pick up networks from greater distances. As this laptop is fats you can enjoy games too. The grapghics card is the NVIDIA GeForce 9300M. Still want more?  Ok there are 3 usb ports, 1 memory stick port for cameras.  Bluetooth is standard on sony laptops these days meaning you can send pictures on your mobile phone straight to your laptop.

 McAfee Internet Security Suite (with 60 days free virus update) means theres peace of mind in case of virus attacks. One great and wonderful thing that sony has now built into all of their laptops is a recovery partition. This is great in case the system ever stops working or becomes corrupt.  All you have to do is press F10 as the laptop boots and wizz the laptop is back to how it was when you bought it. We loved this laptop, the looks and feel are great, it really is the ideal gift for a man.
