| Review summary | Generally speaking you pay a hefty premium to own a Sony product, so it comes as a real surprise that the new VGN-FE31H has an SRP of £899 and is on general sale for £800. That's very cheap for a Sony, so it's worth snapping one up right away Read full review |

Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
