Strengths: Nice screen, fast
Weaknesses:Nothing so far
Overall Evaluation: I have had this unit as a refurb for about a month - using it daily while my desktop was getting fixed. It has been reliable, providing solid performance, perfectly fine. I have a 12" portable also and have been using laptops since 1986. I never go top of the line, as I find mid line, much more affordable with little compromise. If you want a nice looking, reliable computer with a lovely screen that you can count on this will serve you. I have gotten 3.5 hours out of the battery doing everything during that time.

Strengths: Beautiful look, well built, affortable price, fast CPU
Weaknesses:could better with XP
Overall Evaluation: I can't believe this Sony laptop sells for only $650. It looks beautiful and feels very solid. It even comes with Core 2 Duo and a 160GB hard drive. It more looks black rather than brown. I don't care about its small memory because I upgrade it to 4GB regardless. Great buy!

Strengths: Intel Core2Duo Processor, Sony quality
Weaknesses:Memory
Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent notebook PC. It works great and looks very nice and has Sony brand name. I got it on a sale ($599 after rebate) at OfficeDepot, I think for that price, it is a excellent notebook. The only problem I can think of the 1GB RAM, I would have preferred 2GB RAM.

Review:
Sony VAIO VGN-NR160E/T All-Purpose Laptop
Tepid performance and a somewhat dull screen are the flies in the ointment for this inexpensive all-purpose laptop.
You won't win any speed contests with this budget laptop, but it's nicely crafted and offers pretty good battery life for less than $900.
