Sony VGN-BX540B11Notebook Review

Sony%20VGN-BX540B11.jpg

A candid review of the Sony VGN-BX540B11notebook computer has been posted over at Notebook Review. 'The Sony Vaio BX series is Sony's business class notebook line. The BX line comes in 14.1" (BX540 series), 15.4" (BX560 series) and 17" (BX570 series) LCD screen flavors. The price as configured for my 14.1" VAIO BX540 is $699. Sony has a deal currently running until 9/30/06 where if you trade in an old Dell notebook, you can get a $500 rebate ($300 for non-Dell notebooks) toward the purchase of a new BX series notebook.

At first glance Sony does not disappoint with the aesthetics here. The lid is an attractive silver tone with chromed lettering. The lid is quite sturdy and made of magnesium composite. I could not get the screen to ripple when pressing on the back and there is no flex. Note, only the 14" screen model is made of magnesium composite. The 15.4" and 17" LCD screen models have a plastic frame.'
