      i love it but u have to check properly for architecture weakness, cuz my lappy, the part below the screen is weak.. like a piece of paper covering the circuit beneath. it feels dangerous.

      TX is light known for LCD breaking easily.
      SZ seems sturdy but expensive.
      UX is pretty proprietary.
      C reviews have been good.

      Im actually more concerned about reliability issues. Will it spoil easily? Will the battery last for long? Im looking at either the SZ or FE..
      I will be using it in uni, to do internet surfing and sometimes play a game or two without lagging..

      Any reason why you favour the SZ series? Looks aside..
      Im planning to get the SZ too, but not the 48.. 43 will do.. Laughing

      Why a Sony?

      Still have other brands in the market with comparable prices like Asus, Sumsung and LG...

      Saw the T61, the architecture and specifications are almost the same as a T60, except it's fitted with a 15.4" widescreen and a T7200 Intel Core Duo 2...

      i’ve got the sz43. yeah its true that sony vaio comes with a greater price. no doubt the looks are great, i would recommend buying it if you arent running any heav applications, just light ones such as messenger, microsoft office and/ IE. the battery life for sz series is comparatively better, lasting about 5hours minimum on stamina mode, and its light too, at about 1.8kg

      if u buy right. there are a few pointers to take note.

      first: make sure that it's not made in china, there are 2 sets of vaio machines, the more expensive ones and 14.1 inches or below are made in Japan but it's more costly and the china sets 14.1 and above, normally 15.4 inches are normally CHEAPER by alot, but the QC may not be that good.

      This is based on the personal review of mine, as i have a made in china vaio
