Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T Review – Trusted Reviews

Trusted Reviews have published a review of the affordable Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T notebook. ‘As far as size goes it's a 15.4in notebook, so it's neither the most portable or least portable out there. It must be noted, though, that it weighs more than the Inspiron 1525 at just a fraction over 2.9kg compared to the 2.7kg of the Dell. It's a shade thicker too, with a minimum of 31.4mm growing to 37.9mm at the thickest point in its wedge shaped design. This, compared to the 25 to 37mm of the Dell, makes it noticeably chunkier, though not unpleasantly so.

Indeed, though it is heavier and thicker than the Dell its rounded edges make it pleasant to handle. In use the large and friendly touch pad is great, though the keyboard is something of an acquired taste. It has an excellent layout but it has flat rather than tapered keys. Some people - myself included - may find this makes it easier to hit the wrong key by mistake, though equally others find the opposite to be the case. It's been the cause of some argument in the office, so unless you have experience of this kind of keyboard already and either love/hate it then it's worth seeking out a Sony retailer to try it out for yourself.’
