Sony VAIO VGN-N365E/B 15.4" Laptop (Intel Core Duo Processor T2450, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium)

This is an accessible and stylish laptop for anyone looking for an everyday personal computer. It works very nicely, the design is perfect, and it is incredibly slim.
I personally liked the "Magic Gate" that reads the SD and other cards directly, so that you can transport pictures from your digital camera or other files quickly, without cables.
The system performance is OK - it's not super-fast, but works fine. Anyway, I guess one can't expect a 5 star performance on a laptop for this price.
The 1 GB RAM memory is not enough, so that I recommend upgrading to 2 GB, especially if you want the Windows Vista to work properly. By the way, the Vista is great, and it has nothing to envy Apple's operating systems.

Important: If I could change something of my computer, it would be its size. It is very slim, but I really recommend anyone to go for a smaller screen size. A 15.4" screen means that the laptop is quite big - it is still the most portable one I've seen in the 15.4" range, but a smaller screen size (even though it is more expensive) is worth the added mobility.

Good price, stylish design, sound performance, and a durable machine that comes from the finest brand in electronic products. VAIO's are simply perfect.

Machine comes with 2 512mb memory sticks installed. My guess is that with Vista many owners will want to upgrade. If you do DON'T THROW THE OLD MEMORY AWAY. If you ever have to use the Sony supplied recovery disks they will not restore your system if you have anything but the original 2 512MB of memory. Got that one straight from the Sony support desk in Manila just a few minutes ago.

The perfect gift for a Son in College. Reports that it is working well with plenty of software.

The product is very good and as always amazon with the latest technology that sale!

I love this laptop. It fits my needs and great quality. I highly recommend it.
