My wife's notebook. She likes the small lightweight, slim profile, but hates the slow HDD.

Marketing … it’s a ‘Sony’ thing. Seriously, just for show and to raise eyebrows.

Hello Ulysses:
After a multitude of desk tops ... I broke down a year ago and bought a high end notebook and setup a docking station via a great oak desk that completely closes up. Connected I have a Maxtor 80G external firewire drive (for digital video editing and photo storage), a Sony external firewire burner, a HP PhotoSmart printer, a HP 7400c scanner. All accessories are daisy chained including the firewire for the digital camera.
Why do I like it? It's completely portable. On trips I take my Sony 707, my Sony TRV 900, and my notebook (no worries about memory stick size here). It does everything my desktop does and more. For me, I will never buy another desktop computer.
The best to you!

PS: My notebook was assembled by Gateway, has a 15.7" screen, and came with a 3 year warranty.
The best to you!

P.S. My wife has a external RW burner, USB hub, keyboard, wireless mouse and color printer she uses with it as a desktop. A Port replicator can be used for legacy devices. Win ME, 256 mb ram and 20 gig 5200 rpm HDD. Pentium III 733mhz. She carries extra memory sticks and unplugs everything if needed to go completely portable.

Well what I don't like is: only 1 subject, wide ruled, can not be refilled, tears easy
Likes: light weight, compact/thin, works in low light, sheets can be used for any
number of things (ie. air planes, origamy, camp fires etc. etc.)
ehehh So I use and an Apple iBook - don't really have any complaints - this
model is 1 rev back so it has the smaller screen - but that keeps the size down
on the + side: 2 USB ports, vid out (RCA and VGA), fire wire port, iMovie, iPhoto
not many virus to worry about, DVD player (great for those long flights),
CD burner.... just to name a few.

Toshiba Portege 3490CT; I like it - it's small, lightweight, haven't had any problems so far.

I use Sony Viao PCG-XG29K. Does not have a network card built-in nor a memory stick reader. The other issue is the lack of some commonly used ports - parallel and serial for instance. These are the don't likes. Works well with the port replicator however, that has these.
There are a number of things to like. Good screen. Fair size HDD (20 GB). Reasonable CPU and memory. Firewire for instance. CDRW drive interchangeable with a second battery. Bundled software to create mpeg2 movies from digital camcorders (Sony in this case). Bundled software for digital cameras.

I have one of the new iBooks. It's worked great with my 707.
Since I like pretty much everything about it, I'll just lay out the lowlights.
-It's only a G3 and doesn't run OS X all that fast. It's good enough, but I can't wait to get a new iMac in the fall for all that fun Photoshop stuff.
I guess that was lowlight. It's a great machine.

Since I test software for a living, I have 4 laptops (and have worked with several other brands including IBM, Acer, Dell, HP, Toshiba, and Compaq for extended periods):
Sony VAIO F430
Sony VAIO A48
Mac G3 Powerbook (Pismo)
Mac Powerbook 3400
All have trackpads. (I hate the eraser) I have Logitech Marbles for all of 'em.
VAIO: Love the location of the Page up/Page down keys
Should I put up pictures?
CD300, lovin' it, but still thinking about that IS 10x...

- The older F430 has a built in microphone, which is handy
- The installation, software, support materials in general make them almost as good as a Mac
- The A48 has a gorgeous 15" screen & built in Ethernet.

... i absolutely love my titanium g4 powerbook like nothing else i've ever owned before but having been stuck inside it for over 13 months now is starting to get on my nerves just a bit. since os x moved in a few months ago (this photo was taken last december) things have been a lot different (mostly in a good way) but i wish for the old days when i could do the things like normal people do like type on a keyboard and run my fingertip on the trackpad.
but i guess i'm stuck in here until i can get someone to write me an uninstall cUrVe app, load it and then run it. but that's not likely tho as people seem to like the fact that i'm stuck inside the machine.

Kinda slow and the newer Picturebook VAIOs have higher resolution and a built-in memory stick slot. However, this one has a infrared port while the new ones don't have one!

I got an HP Omnibook 900B, which does everything I need. For example, just to name a few, it loads pics from my two cameras DSC-F707 and DSC-P9, and from my camcorder DCR-PC110 (Firewire & USB). It connects wirelessly to the Internet through the SonyEricsson T68i (GPRS connection), and to the LAN, all using the Bluetooth wireless tech. I can also load maps in my Garmin eTrex Vista GPS, for my trips. Of course no probs while uploading MP3s in the Sony Network MS Walkman NW-MS11, which takes a while to convert in ATRAC3 format, but it's while worth it. I own also a Canon portable printer, but I don't use it anymore, so I'm looking for other photo printers (like Epson 950, 2100, Sony and HiTi dye-subs or the newest HPs, like the Photosmart 7350)
These are some of the advantages and uses, which maybe show clear that I'm a Sony-enthusiast for different products
