Sony VAIO XG29 PC Notebook

Pros: Great for the price despite being pricey, sleek, light and small, fast and powerful, has it all
Cons: Mediocre customer service, it is not human

Yes, you heard correctly; the XG29 VAIO is better than you. It is smarter than you and it is much better looking than you are. In fact, the VAIO probably has more character than you do. Sorry, and yes, it did hurt for me to break all of that to you....

Pros: Features, performance, versatility.
Cons: Technical service and support a potential concern, price.

Cons: Too big for me to carry cause I am lazy!

Cons: Lack of onboard ports with a expensive replicator.

But it sure can dance...

These series are my favorite. The pcg xg models are a great line to the Sony computer scene. With the minimal problems that these guys have, I rarely have to support any of these models.

If everyday was filled with sunshine, if everyone could live happily with each other morning, noon and night, life would be beautiful. Unfortunately, our lives are far from perfect.

Pros: very reliable, integrates with software as expected
Cons: speed dial thingy, lack of ports on basic machine

I change my laptop about once every 18 months. I had a string of Compaqs but the last one really began to upset me, especially the hours I had to spend configuring it to work precisely how I wanted it to work and figuring out the non-standard,...

Pros: Fast, light, lot more support with docking station
Cons: might be too pricey for some

Pros: Fast, Great Screen, Reliable
Cons: Heavy

My wife got this computer two months ago. She uses it for Desktop Video. She likes the laptop Sony makes here but it is a little heavy. It does have a great screen and the glass cover over the screen is a nice feature to cut glare and protect the LCD. We...

Pros: Small, sexy and what a monitor
Cons: Too pricey and not well built

I have been using my Sony for sometime. It's been a nice little laptop, but it's not completely to the level where it should be for it's price. True my complaints come from only two areas. But let's start with the dvd. First, the dvd-cdrom only works...

Pros: Multimedia capabilities, size, speed
Cons: Dock sold separately

I own a variety of Sony products, including the XG29, on which I am writing this opinion. I have been very happy with the multimedia functions, especially the iLink, or firewire, port. I use this in conjunction with the PC100 camcorder. Sony includes a...

Cons: Replaced HD 2x and motherboard (under warranty). Loud fan/disc drive. Sony battery life is poor.
