Strengths: Speed of machine
Style
runs vista without a problem
Weaknesses: screen is to reflective
Keyboard is different (square keys)
Summary: Very nice machine, setup was easy, just plug in the battery, connect to power and you are ready to go. Sony does the initialization without a problem. Have to download all the Sony and Microsoft updates to get up to date, but do not have to reboot as many times as with XP. For all the negative press about Vista, I was happy with it on this machine, no problems so far and it is fast enough for me. As fast or faster then my Pentium 4 running XP Home. I like the gaggets on the right the screen. I was able to find what I want to do in Vista with no training. Connecting to my home wireless was a snap.

 Just bought CR220 Strengths: -Compact design, sturdy
-very good battery life
-nice looking
-not too hot
-light
Weaknesses: -too much bloatware
-slow, eventhough with 2.0 gig
-share memory
Summary: Overall, this laptop is ok to use with multimedia application for watching dvd, pictures, music, I like the av mode which no other brand has. The lcd technology is outstanding, no questions. However, the response speed is much slow than I expected, might be too many bloatware on it. Recommend for average application user.

Good laptop
Strengths: Compact, durable and nice built
Weaknesses: Bloatware, no dedicated graphic card
Summary: I owned a Sony Vaio SZ before, but I'd like a litt bit bigger screen so I bought this CR series laptop. I am satisfied with its compact, light weight and well built. As usual, Sony crapware slowdowns its boot-up a bit, but once you uninstalled unnecessary program, it run much faster. Al in all, I am happy with this laptop

Strengths: very good
Weaknesses: SD slot
Summary: What I bought is a VIAO VGN-CR220E/L Notebook.I love it so much for its fast speed, nice color(Blue), high resolution screen, and the convenient Windows Vista Home Premium operation system... The only thing that I think is not so good is the SD slot.It's not easy to take the SD card out. But anyway, it is my favorate computer so far.

Strengths: 2ghz T7250
Weaknesses: 200GB Toshiba 4200rpm harddrive
Summary: Bought this to replace a Gateway a friend wanted off me(had 15.4" w/2.0ghz 2450 processor) and saw this at Staples. First thing I did was to do the restore dvds then yanked the 4200 spindle Toshiba harddrive and placed a Hitachi 7.2k 200GB in and loaded XPPro retail(never got the camera working under XP tho..really didn't care :)). The 14.1" screen and overall look always gets compliments and I eventually restored it back to Vista HP 32bit with the 2 restore dvds. Changed out the pitiful Pioneer dvr k17 with a Samsung sn082h and swapped out the 2x1GB ddr2 667mhz for 2x2GB(yes ..only shows as 3GB or so under a 32bit os ) ddr2 800mhz and if it only had the option to add-in a dedicated graphics card :) All in all except for all the Sony bloatware the cr220 is an excellent running machine.

Strengths: stylish looks, fantastic lcd. love the hard disk capacity. speed is ok. nice keyboard (easy to type, easy to clean). battery life is ok too.
Weaknesses: well, maybe the speed when you put all the gadgets on the right side and the vaio home at the bottom area.
Summary: satisfied with my vaio's performance. didn't have any prob with vista. i can access almost anything easily. i preferred to put just two gadgets and close the vaio home access and others that pop up when u boot the system so as not to affect the booting time.

Strengths: Extremely fast
Weaknesses: touchpad
Summary: 2008-01-29 17:51:35 Although I love the keyboard, the touchpad is very stiff and has to be pushed with effort. It is very quick to load and everything else, so far, has been great. It is very light weight as well.

Strengths: style, performance, and very compact and light weight
Weaknesses: windows vista, too many free trials that take up to much space
Summary: This is the best computer I have gotten so far. The computer is very compact yet still packs a punch for your everyday computer needs. The only bad thing I have to complain about is the fact that Sony installed the vaio with a zillion free trials software that it took a long time to uninstall them all. Window Vista is just vista, the worst OS I have ever seen in my life. If Sony had choose to stick with Windows XP, this would have been the best laptop purchase of my life
