Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-NR310E
Source: Laptop Mag
Archive.org versionFor $599, the VGN-NR310E is an attractive but not very powerful notebook. What you get is a machine for surfing the Web, storing and viewing pictures, and working on office tasks. It can handle DVDs and streaming online video, but not as well as other budget systems we’ve seen. If you’re willing to drop a little more dough, we suggest the beautiful $799 Gateway T-6828, which offers 3GB of RAM, longer battery life, and better performance.

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.
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

15.40":
15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
