Sony VAIO BX660P29

Great value, good speed, nice bright screen and dedicated graphics are as important as processor and ram.

Too heavy for travel/lap, it comes loaded with useless Sony software, gets pretty hot on the bottom and on the fan side.

Error on booting right out of box.

this is my first Core 2 Duo.

at a full charge the battery last only 2 hours and that not even playing a game.
