Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-NR460E/L
60% Sony VAIO VGN-NR460E/L 15.4-inch Budget Laptop
Source: Comp Reviews 
Sony's VAIO NR460E/W is one of the few laptops that the company sells for under $750. For this price, you get a fairly substandard system in terms of performance but one that has a large amount of style. This will probably be the most dertmining factor of whether an individual will purchase it over another budget laptop computer.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.
Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays.
The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much current and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
