Light, fast, and it works

by tharrison02459 , Jan 01 '01
Pros: Optimized for travel: light, simple, rugged
Cons: Trade off weight and size with no built-in CD/DVD, serial port, smaller screen
I had last years version of this notebook. It was so great that a thief broke into my car and stole it :-) But I got this year's version and it is even better, which is saying a lot. Mostly just faster, more disk, and runs Win2000.

So what...

Better than Most

Yes it has some drawbacks...

by Dgephri , Oct 02 '00
Pros: light, fast, strong, shiny, thin

Thin but unstable

by WMcMullin , Nov 19 '00
Pros: thin, light
Cons: freezes, a few error messages
Someone just bought me the Sony Z505JS for college for $3,000 because is was so thin. While this does make it convenient, it is also a very unstable system. Every little thing you do, such as opening a web page, can freeze it up. It freezes on my at...
