1 A Great Little Laptop
I would first like to state that I actually own the VGN-S150 - the S260 is a slightly (and I do mean SLIGHTLY) modified version of it. (The S150 has a 1.6 GHz Pentium M processor, while the S260 has a 1.7 GHz Pentium M processor - that is the only difference).
Size: It's TINY, and very portable, weighing only about 4 pounds. It is not, however, so small that looking at the screen becomes a chore, as is the case with some other Sony notebooks.
Speed: It runs like a racecar. I have Norton Internet Security, which severely slows down ANY system, and the S150 is still fantastically fast (once you get it booted, that is).
Screen: The screen isn't very large, due to the small size of the laptop, but it's VERY bright, and has little to no glare. I live in a dorm and do not own a TV, and always use my computer to watch DVD's without a problem.
Speakers: The biggest downside to this computer. The speakers sound tinny, and don't go very loud. I would recommend either getting a pair of external speakers, or doing what I did, which is getting a mini-stereo-to-RCA-dual cable, which allows you to hook your computer (or anything with a standard headphone jack, such as an mp3 player) to most home stereos.
Design: On a shallow note - this this is PRETTY. It has a dark grey/black/silver color scheme that's classy and elegant - and, when you're paying for something that's essentially a piece of (tiny) furniture, attractiveness is an issue.
Price: To be honest, it's a bit overpriced. I would recommend finding a store that offers some sort of mail-in rebate, or waiting until Amazon.com gives you a better discount.
Overall - a great piece of equipment. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new PC.
