Reviews of the Sony Vaio NW160J (brown)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Blu-ray drive for less than $1,000; discrete graphics; excellent keyboard and touch pad; attractive design.
The Bad: Lacks top-of-the-line Core 2 Duo processor; mediocre speakers.
The Bottom Line: Although it's expensive for a 15-inch multimedia laptop, the Blu-ray and game-playing capabilities of the attractive 15.4-inch Sony Vaio NW160J make it a worthy portable entertainment system.
