Reviews for the Sony Vaio VPC-EG16FM/W

80% Sony VAIO VPC-EG16FM
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
The Sony VAIO VPC-EG16FM is a mainstream laptop that targets movie enthusiasts, thanks to the Blu-ray drive, excellent horsepower, and a few technologies that can get those flicks onto the big screen. Other than its need to trim some bulk off its shell, it's a well-designed laptop and should appeal to those who value good looking laptops. Now, a Blu-ray drive isn't for everyone, and it doesn't come cheap. If that not a consideration for you, and you're looking for a stellar, all-around mainstream laptop, look no further than the Editors' Choice Asus U46E-BAL5.

14.00":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
