| The best thing about it is the size and weight. It's the first notebook that I really genuinely don't mind taking with me everywhere. Previously I had a Dell Latitude which was very nice but once you added the CDROM drive, floppy drive, second battery, etc, not to mention the special padded case it just about tore your shoulder off. I can just toss the Vaio and its power supply into my regular briefcase and I don't really notice the weight. | ||||||||
