Reviews of the Sony Vaio VGN-NW125J/T
-
CNET Review
The Good: HD video looks great on big 15.5-inch, 16:9 display; keyboard is comfortable and spacious; relatively thin and lightweight.
The Bad: Disappointing battery life; extra-wide chassis may require a new laptop bag; no media control buttons.
The Bottom Line: With just about the biggest display you'd be willing to lug around on a daily basis, the Sony Vaio VGN-NW125J/T attempts to be both a low-end entertainment laptop and versatile everyday productivity machine. But for the battery life, it pulls it off.
