Advantages: Good design, long - live battery, good multitasking

Disadvantages: integrated graphic card, low 3D performance

With a good, simple VAIO trademark design and an affordable price, there is no doub that the sony VAIO VGN-BZ11MN targets the corporate users. Coated in a dark-grey, there is no different between this laptop and its higher-end VAIO brothers.


Display

The 15.4" display puts out a great performance. Colours are really vivid and lively. Moreover, the screen works well under sunlight condition, which is perfect for people who need to carry a notebook for outdoor work. It is also great for watching movies, editing photos or 3D animations.
However, for those who like to have the intensive gaming experience on a notebook, this is definitely not the choice. Only equipped with an integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD, the 3D performance of this laptop is compromised. But also because of the integrated graphic card, the battery can afford to last for an impressive 5 hours without being fed by a power supply, another point to prove its mobility that suits people in the need of a working laptop.

Performance

The VAIO VGN-BZ11MN can multitask smoothly with 2GB memory and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
The 160GB hard disk offers a good storing capacity for normal users. You can install numerous softwares and many games without worrying whether your hard disk can take them, but if you are a video editor, an external hard disk is definitely needed.
This laptop has a great networking system that includes Wireless LAN, Firewire and Bluetooth, which make it highly compatible and able to connect to almost every digital device without purchasing any other additional adapter.
It also has two card-readers slot that support SD card and Sony Memory sticks.
The integrated 1.3 Megapixel camera captures video with 1280 x 1024 resolution. It works great for instant messaging or VOIP programs.

Conclusion

Overall, this laptop will satisfy all the needs of a cooperate consumer, who requires a laptop to connect to check email, or to process documents and most importantly, to work outdoor without power supply for long duration of time. Considering its cheap price, the notebook really does more than its value.
