"Avoid at all costs"

What I like:

size, weight, speed in switching on

What I don't like:

cannot be repaired if broken, VERY fragile screen.

Review:

In July 2007 I ordered this PC direct from Japan in order to get the solid state hard drive and all day battery not offered on the UK market. At first everything seemed okay, however, in August the screen cracked when I pushed it closed from the side (advice here for the future: ALWAYS close the screen holding BOTH sides). I sent it to SONY for repairs. Eventually at the end of November it was returned with the statement "it is not possible to replace or repair the screen on the TZ model Vaio" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used a large quantity of notebook computers over the years (indeed I am credited in introducing notebooks into my industry back in the days of 086 processors) and although I have had a number of damaged products in that time I have NEVER had a company come back with that one! I should add, however, that this is both the first notebook I have bought with private money and also the first SONY.
