Advantages: Speed, connection options, style
Disadvantages: no infra red
Being given a Sony Vaio is like aquiring a work of art. Design as well as functionality is at the heart of the Vaio.
The Z600TEK is a master of the functionality within the smallest area possible. The array of connection options allow this to be a workhorse of any notebook arena.
Connections for memorystick, firewire, usb, serial, parallel, LAN (internal) and modem (internal) allow connection and interoperability all through the world.
With a good battery (lasts 1.5hrs) and a crystal screen this laptop runs Windows 2000 fast and solid. Good storage (20GB) only let down by external floppy and CD.
But this can be allowed as the whole lot weights in at 1.7Kg. Great for lugging around.
The only criticism, well two really. 1) Only a single height PCMCIA socket and 2) no Infrared!

- 01/04/01 I have the Z600HEK. Ir is basically the same model. Still no Infra-red, which personally I feel is a BIG hassle.
The build quality is superb, & compared with other similar kit, this runs pretty cool. I get a good 2 hours or more on the std. battery.
Also I have an issue that the system freezes and needs power-off with certain LAN cards connected at the same time as a fire-wire device.
The Premiere plug-ins also appear to be for Premiere v5.1LE only, so if you want Premiere support and your system does not have Premiere bundled, check this out first!
I do not find support very good for anything other than basic questions such as 'is XZY software supported' or 'how do I reload from scratch'.
St ill, it's well made and nice to have & hold! Basically I agree with Mark. |
