Author's Review

A real piece of fine-art computer design.
I have been in the IT business for more than 22 years now, and have programmed and used lots of models, from Commodores 64's to Amigas, PCs, Macs, but these days I needed something portable, compatible and powerful. I made a comparison between several laptops/notebooks, and found the features on the Vaio 742 to be outstanding.
I needed DVD double-layer burning capability but a decent display, mid-size storage capacity, and good processor speed.
I found that this VAIO had it all in a convenient and beautiful case.
The screen is great. Unparalleled brightness, contrast and color. The best LCD I have ever seen!
The price is a little higher than the average, but it worth every extra penny.
