Sony VGN s-150, power for mobile warriors,
By
This review is from: Sony VAIO VGN-S150P Laptop (1.60 GHz Pentium M (Centrino), 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
I have owned the computer for the past 3 months and put it through its paces. The XBBRITE screen is awesome and heads turn to watch it in a room. The wide screen perspective comes with very high resulotion and the microsoft word two page view looks great. The processor is fast( thanks to its 2MB on chip cache) and other aspects of the laptops fit and finish are top notch. The wireless G built in adapter functions with excellent range throughout my three story house. On the road, it lightness is a joy to carry and the dvd movies make travel time pass quickly. Cons: memorystick adpater is pretty useless, a compact flash would be better, bluetooth should have been built in also,sony should have included some better software offering with it. For alomost 2000.00 I would expect the DVD/CD drive to have included a DVD burner function. I compared this to the TR3 smaller sony notebook and found the VGN s150 to be much easier on my eyes to use for spreadsheets and documents because of its larger screen size. I would buy it again in a second.

I've had my s-150p for almost three years. What a good laptop! The only complaint is the expense of upgrades. To top off the memory at 1gb costs almost $200. The existing memory has to be tossed to make room for 512 sticks. The screen is beautiful though hard to see in bright sunlight as are most screens. The preinstalled sony stuff is a bit hard to get rid of but download all the drivers and updates and then did a reformat and things have come out nice. I just image the new install and will never have to do it again the hard way. Very recommended if a bit pricey.update - now it's dying. I am having the video/power switch problem which you can google. The fix is about $200 including the shipping. Still a nice laptop, but it's not going to make 4 years. Think about that when plopping down near $2000 for a laptop. |
