If you're after a vaio, look out for the new onyx black screens. Theres one on my GRT715M and its absolutely gorgeous. To the best of my knowledge, only Sony and Toshiba have implemented this technology in their notebooks.

What are the benefits of an Onyx Black sxreen and how much extra does it cost?

You need to see one in person to understand. The first thing you'll notice is the screen has a glossy finish. It uses 2 lamps as opposed to 1 which improves the contrast and colour. Its also got a wider viewing angle. As for the extra price, I dunno. Its not an optional extra because all vaios are pre-built

I saw an advert by PC World for a Compaq laptop for £799, is that one any good?
My cousin however says that Compaqs are unreliable and break down easily, but this was a few years ago so are they more reliable now?

hey:
i have just bought a vaio pcg-tr1f, one of the smallest on the market, centrino new tecnology, its 900 mhz but if it was pentium 4 would be 2 ghz cuz the centrinos new speed mesurement is different, that is cus it is smaller so it heats less and requires less battery, haz built in 512 mb ram i gave it another 512 (has 2 dimms) 30 gbyte hd and it removes easyly, cd-rw and dvd 1.4 k heavy and it is the smallest, graphic card with 64 mb of memory, i was gonna buy the z new one but has one main problen, graphic card with sahred 16 mb of memory and ram upgrade to 786 max so t is no use when u need more ram and it is bigger the onyx screen is the best, and the cover is made of magnesium, and has memory stick pro slot the z doesnt, the computer is fast even with 512 mb, its expensive but soo worth it, i bought an evo (compaq) and a pavillion before and they suck, also does toshiba in some models, dell, are big and bulky also heavy, vaio may not rule in desktops (even though my new vaio desktop came with 1024 mb ram and 160 gb hd, dvd rw) but what laptop market is about... VAIO, oh and most vaios dont have dvd rw cuz the drive has to have extra space to cool down, i prefer a dektop with dvd rw than a fat lap top.
my vaios display is small but wide and it rles i mean who wants the power mac 17 inch display, they should call that a desktop, if u need mobility get a small lap top.

thought of getting a dell before but when i read a survey by pc magazine on reliability reports, i quickly scrapped the idea and got a toshiba satellite instead. toshiba consistently gets one of the highest reliability ratings so i decided not to take a risk, especially since laptops to get banged around a lot. got a satellite 5105 and definitely have no regrets. a great piece of kit.

What about the battery life?
Does it go down after a while?
