Sony VAIO X505 review

Tuesday 21 September 2004, 1:15 AM

Only if it suits your needs


I mainly use my laptop for Web browsing, emails, taking notes and watching movies. Do not expect a very powerful machine, but for my purposes it is perfect. Got it for 1600euros (second hand at akiba) so i guess it's a bargain.

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

Sony's elegant VAIO X505 is an eminently portable notebook with just enough features and performance. But it's too expensive for most people.

Typical price

£ 1701
