SONY Notebook VAIO VGN-AR88E

great allround laptop

hdmi socket faulty ,cannot connect anything via hdmi

very queit

Screen size

Battery life

Very good laptop, good design, and works well under pressure, i have at least 4/5 prgrams running together, the graphics card is very good.

Very heavy, the screen size makes it too large and it doesnt fit in any case i get, the laptop is way over weight. The black keypad makes it hard to use in low light.

Reliable, functional, fast, great screen

Not very portable

Beautiful 17 inch screen - great contrast and documents look awesome

It is heavy - but then this machine is designed to be more of a desktop replacement than a laptop

Screen display, key board and overall design.

Battery life poor reducing the time it can be portable.

fast quiet operation

battery life. gets hot very quickly

Nice looking, easy to set up, particularly for technophobes like me. The screen very clear and sharp. Overall a very good laptop with hopefully Sony's reliability.

The only criticism I have is that the touchpad is very sensitive and I find myself unintentionally changeing screens. The sensitivity can be changed but I still find it sensitive, maybe because it's my first laptop I'm not used to it yet.

Good clear screen which is what I wanted for photography.

Poor battery life.
