Sony VAIO PCV-W1 review
Reviews Sony’s VAIO Media software lets you stream video and audio content to connected devices over a network. The VAIO W1 is an all-in-one system, which has its advantages and disadvantages -- compactness on the one hand, limited accessibility and...

Sony VAIO PCG-Z1SP review
Reviews The company's VAIO range -- particularly the thin and light and ultraportable models -- have always stood out from the crowd, and the PCG-Z1SP is no exception. The VAIO PCG-Z1SP is based on a 1.5GHz Pentium M (Banias) processor, the 855PM chipset...

Sony VAIO PCG-FX805 review
Reviews As with most VAIO notebooks, there's more than a hint of consumer-orientation surrounding the FX805. However, with its large screen, good keyboard and solid performance, the VAIO FX805 still emerges as a realistic proposition if you're looking for...

Sony VAIO PCG-VX71P review
Reviews If you’re a Sony fan and you need an ultraportable system with a decent-sized screen, the VAIO PCG-VX71P should appeal. Based around Intel’s low-voltage 850MHz Mobile Pentium III-M processor and 256MB of RAM, supported by the integrated 815EM...

Sony VAIO UX180P: a first look review
Reviews Throwing its hat into -- or at least near to -- the UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) ring, Sony has announced the VAIO UX180P Micro PC. Taking some of the most innovative elements of the T-Mobile Sidekick and the OQO Model 01, the VAIO UX180P features a a...

Sony VAIO PCV-RX301 review
Reviews The VAIO PCV-RX301 looks good and has a more than reasonable specification for the £799 (inc. The RX301's Athlon XP processor is the 1800+ model, which runs at 1,533MHz (1.53GHz) -- several speed grades behind the CPU that currently tops the Athlon...

Sony VAIO PCG-GRX316SP review
Reviews The overall look and feel is typical Sony VAIO, albeit with a darker livery than hitherto, but there are some nice touches: we particularly liked the magnetized flip-down covers for the I/O ports. If you need copious screen space for editing video...

Sony VAIO VGN-TX2XP/L review
Reviews The widescreen format means that the VAIO VGN-TX2XP/L is slightly larger than some other ultraportable notebooks. The VAIO VGN-TX2XP/L looks absolutely stunning. The VAIO VGN-TX2XP/L is equipped with an Ultra Low Voltage Intel Pentium M 753...

Sony VAIO PCG-SRX41P review
Reviews Toshiba's Portégé 2000 drew a crowd in the ZDNet office mostly because of its extreme thinness (1.91cm); Sony's SRX41P, by contrast, impresses passers-by with the combination of its typically stylish VAIO looks and small footprint.

Sony VAIO TR1: a first look review
Reviews If Sony's new VAIO PCG-TR1 series evokes some déjà vu, you're not wrong. The VAIO PCG-TR1 resembles the now-discontinued C series with its built-in 307Kpixel camera. The VAIO TR1's 27cm wide by 18.8cm deep by 3.47-3.58cm high case reminds us...

Sony VAIO PCG-F809K review
Reviews Clad in Sony's familiar purple and grey VAIO livery, the F809K is a bulky system weighing 3.2kg (3.6kg with the AC adapter) and measuring 32.4cm wide by 26.6cm deep by 5.4cm high. The VAIO PCG-F809K is a typically stylish and feature-rich notebook...

Sony VAIO PCG-FX604 review
Reviews Sony's VAIO range is perhaps best known for combining eye-catching design with the latest technology, but there are plenty of 'bread and butter' products in there too, and the FX604 certainly falls into the latter category.

Sony VAIO PCV-RX203 review
Reviews The VAIO PCV-RX203 is a great system for video editing, including DVD production. Sony's larger, more powerful desktop now comes in a number of models. The PCV-RX203 is the highest specification -- and therefore most expensive -- model in a range...

Sony VAIO PCV-RX1 review
Reviews The VAIO PCV-RX1 is based around a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 and comes with 256MB of RDRAM as standard. Graphics are handled by an ASUS-branded 32MB nVidia GeForce2 MX card. None of this is leading-edge technology, but you're not paying a leading-edge price...

Sony VAIO PCV-LX1 review
Reviews The PCV-LX1 has all the connectivity options of a high-end VAIO notebook such as the FX209K, but generally with more of it. The PCV-LX1 is by no means the most highly specified system on the market, being based on a 1GHz Pentium III and supplied...

Sony VAIO PCG-FX209K review
Reviews As you'd expect from a VAIO, the FX209K features an i.LINK (IEEE 1394) port, which provides a high-speed 400Mbit/s connection for external hard disks, networking or, primarily, digital video equipment.

Sony VAIO PCG-FX109K review
Reviews The VAIO PCG-FX109K provides plenty of features and delivers the performance to support them. This is no ultraportable: weighing 3.1kg minimum and measuring 32.4cm by 26.6cm by 5.5cm it's neither small nor light -- and it gets heavier if you...

Sony VAIO PCG-QR10 review
Reviews We wouldn't recommend you carry the notebook far this way, since it's not protected from knocks and the prominent 'VAIO' logo on top of the unit makes it obvious what you're carrying to any would-be thieves.

Sony VAIO PCG-Z600HEK review
Reviews The Z600HEK is the 'classic' VAIO notebook design, decked out in the now-familiar metallic purple and purple-grey colours. There's little to dislike about the VAIO Z600HEK apart from the relatively high price.

Sony VAIO PCG-SR21K review
Reviews Despite the fancy naming, the SR21K's design remains quirky, resembling nothing so much as a VAIO C1 with an add-on unit stuck on the front. The design of the SR series is based around what Sony calls 'zones': the dark purple PC Zone comprises the...
