Sony VAIO VGN-T140P/L 10.6" Laptop Review
Sony VAIO VGN-T140P/L 10.6" Laptop Review from James M Egelhof technogeek. Excellent laptop!, I bought this as a replacement for a Dell Latitude X200 and have not been disappointed.
Pros:
- long battery life (>4hrs)
- lightweight and physically compact
- no-compromise feature set including WiFi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, PC Card slot, etc.
- built in DVD/CDRW (unlike the Dell X200/X300 where it was an external device)
- great keyboard layout and ergonomic design
- bright, sharp onboard display; VGA port can drive my 1600×1200 monitor without a problem
Cons:
- no printed manuals
- no recovery CDs
- includes a limited set of software (Office 2003 “trial”)
Sony has obviously saved a few bucks by putting the recovery installers on a separate hard disk partition instead of on CDs. The software will happily burn CDs for you — invest in a 10-pack of CD-Rs for this. Look at this as an opportunity to test the CDRW drive.
By booting up the recovery CDs you can easily rebuild the system without the 5GB recovery partition. This is the first thing I did once I received the laptop.
