Sony VAIO VGN-SZ170P Review

Laptop Magazine has posted a review of the Sony VAIO VGN-SZ170P. It is at the upper range of being an ultraportable, with its 13.3″ widescreen display but it received much kudos from the reviewer.

Like the Sharp M4000, the VGN-SZ170P is built around a 13.3-inch widescreen display. The large screen means a bigger footprint and heavier chassis (3.7 pounds) than other ultraportables, but it’s a price worth paying if this will be your primary machine. The glossy display looked stunning during DVD playback, but we noticed glare from overhead lights. The stereo speakers above the keyboard deliver enough volume for a conference table presentation, even if the sound is a bit hollow.

The only downside listed for this machine is its weight, other than that, it is a big thumbs up. They gave the VAIO VGN-SZ170P a 4.5 out of 5, and an Editor’s Choice badge. If you have $2599 USD sitting around, then this is probably the laptop to get.
