What is it:
Cost-effective 15-inch Centrino 2 laptop

Typical price:
£634.90 - £680.22

We like:
Solidly built; good keyboard; integrated webcam; fingerprint scanner

We don't like:
Low-resolution screen; not enough USB connectors; too much pre-installed software

The judgement:
The Vaio VGN-BZ11MN is a cost-effective 15-inch Centrino 2 laptop. It's solidly built, if somewhat uninspiring, and you may want to opt for its £100 more expensive stable-mate to get a higher-resolution screen

    Sony seem to have seriously? lost the plot.

    Another overpriced 'hyped'? product coming to the market too late to match the competition on performance, even without considering the excessive price.

    Noted that you can now buy a sony bookreader in the UK. at only slightly more than the price it was at when it was 'released' to the US market two? years ago.
    So - I should spend more on the bookreader than on a fully? windows capable eee?
