Other than that it is a great laptop. 100% of People (5/5) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

durminator Member Since: Feb 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 28 Days	Sony VAIO VGN-AR190G Notebook Strengths: This computer is very user friendly and has all the features you could want in a laptop as well as a desktop. I love the media center feature however I have had some difficulty in configuring the TV. Weaknesses: The only weakness is the position of the mouse to click buttons. They are located on the platform edge which is somewhat new and often times you will click the right button instead of the left button. Summary: 2007-03-05 21:11:51 Overall, I was pleased with this purchase. The blue-ray is nice to have howver on a small screen, compared to a Tv the advantages of blue-ray does not stand out. The picture quality nonetheless is almost flawless. You will not go back to regular DVD watching, believe me. The current prices are in line with what to expect as you will pay the same or more for a comparable HD DVD player/laptop so go with the Blue-ray if you have an option. 100% of People (4/4) found this review helpful.
