Sony VAIO VGN-SZ450N/C PC Notebook Review

My husband bought me this laptop 3 months ago as an anniversary gift. I am starting law school and he felt I needed a quality laptop. I absolutely love it.

I am, by no means, a computer/technology person. My computer usage is mostly surfing the internet, chatting on AOL and word processing. Please keep this in mind when reading my review since I will not become very technical in it.

I am very hard on my stuff. This is the 4th laptop I've had in 8 or 9 years, but it is by far the best. The quality of the machine is obvious. It's very lightweight, but has a "beefy" feel to it. I dropped it the other day from a sofa to the hardwood floor and it survived with no obvious injuries.

It's an attractive machine. I have the pink one and it's definitely unique.

The battery life is pretty good. Slightly better than my last IBM thinkpad.

The only con I can come up with is the price. It's about twice the price of a Dell. Dell just released a pink laptop that looks pretty cute.
