The Bottom Line The Sony VAIO N170G/T uses an underpowered Intel Core Duo processor, but the bright screen and the slick styling will make it attractive to the design-conscious consumer on a budget. Though it doesn't stand out in any one area, the Sony Vaio CR510E covers all the bases--decent performance, long battery life, good size, affordable price--in forming a good bet as a back-to-school laptop. The Sony VAIO SZ manages to be eminently portable without sacrificing a readable screen or a usable keyboard, and it incorporates all of the features and components, and most of the connections, that business users need.
