Customer Review

Sony VGN-AR630E- excellent- crisp screen
By J. Miller, (Los Angeles, CA United States) - November 16, 2007

Excellent notebook for home use. Great desktop replacement. bought my second one today. Blue Ray is fabulous. Great performance. Only neg. is that TWO usb ports on on the RT hand side, (third one in back), can get in the way for Rt. handed users. Fast performance…Very pleased. Brighter screen than the HP 17″…
